The Inward Kingdom
In Matthew 6:33, Jesus contrasted our focus and anxiety about the concerns of this life with seeking the kingdom first and foremost. God knows what we need and He cares about the details of our lives, so this doesn't mean that we should be oblivious to the world around us. Rather, it means that we must affect the world around us by living from the inside-out.
"But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you." Mat. 6:33
The Inward Life
Jesus made it clear that we must live from the inside-out by commanding us to keep our main focus on two things: God's kingdom and God's righteousness. Since the righteousness of God comes through faith (Rom. 3:21-22), and the kingdom of God is within us (Luk. 17:21), both of these priorities refer to the inward life.
A kingdom is a king's domain; the extent of his effectual rule. God's kingdom is evident wherever His authority and power is actively demonstrating His dominion. We are God's domain, and He intends for us to extend His dominion into the world around us by living from His kingdom which is within us.
Looking In All The Wrong Places
Jesus said that the kingdom of God is not coming with signs to be observed, because it is within us (Luk. 17:20-21). He made this statement because people were looking for the kingdom in all the wrong places then, just as they often do today. Since the kingdom is inside of us, if we are looking for it in the world around us, we're doing it wrong.
Jesus began His ministry saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." (Mat. 3:2) To repent literally means to change our thinking and to change our actions. In other words, "Change your thinking and actions because the kingdom is right here, right now. You haven't realized it because it didn't come with signs to alert you. You need to change your perspective about the kingdom. The authority and power of the King is present and ready to prove His dominion now."
The Fruit Of The Kingdom
Jesus also said that while God is pleased to freely give us the kingdom (Luk. 12:32), we are responsible to produce its fruits through our lives (Matt. 21:43). Jesus was very specific about this fruit of the kingdom in His earthly ministry.
First, He showed that He relied upon the anointing of the Spirit of the Lord (Luk. 4:18-19). Secondly, He specifically revealed the fruit was the proclamation of good news, healing and deliverance, liberty and recovery, opening the prison doors of bondage, and heralding the favor of God toward us today (Luke 9:2; 10:9; Mat. 4:23; 9:35; 10:7-8).
As disciples of Jesus, our highest goal is to become as He is. Are we living from the inside-out and putting God's dominion on display as He did?
Jeremy Caris
Jeremy Caris is the founder and president of Caris Ministries. Since he is called as a prophet and gifted as a teacher, much of his focus involves equipping believers to hear, know, and follow God in their own daily experience. He teaches the foundational truth of the Word with simple clarity, while revealing deep things of the spirit in practical ways. He has the unique ability to demystify the supernatural side of real relationship with a living God and make it an embraceable and accessible reality for all believers. Jeremy has been married to his best friend, Mandy Caris, for twenty years, and is the proud father of two boys.

By Turfat ul ain
It is a matter of great pride that in addition to the Qurʾan, we have an entire heritage of sayings, letters, and sermons from Amīr al-Muʾminīn and his successors through which we can guide our lives.
We see that as human beings we have got into the scads of wrenching conflicts world worldwide and as such it is through the examples from the life history of the Prophet (ṣ) and his infallible successors that we would be able to harmonize those teachings in practice and bring them to fruition.
The historians mentioned that Ali (as) was put under the guardianship of the Prophet (S) since his childhood. He was a gifted child. His natural capabilities began to grow by the Prophet's teachings.
It has been mentioned in the history that Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) transferred his knowledge to Ali a.s like that of a Sparrow bird feeds seeds to its young ones, but why has it been said like that? Why not the way a mother feeds milk to her baby?
It is because when a mother feeds her baby the food she eats has to go through various transformations to get converted into milk. So, here we understand that the knowledge received by Ali a.s from the holy Prophet phub is exactly the same knowledge that our holy Prophet had (without any change).
Imam 'Ali was educated in the Prophet's school with teachings that governed all his actions since then.
Imam Ali a.s had all admirable qualities like courage, bravery, fearlessness, generous disposition, remission etc. His mental faculties and comprehension was so sharp that he believed in Muhammad at the age of ten and said to the Prophet: "I believe in you and try my best to support you."
The main purpose of the Prophet's teachings was to worship God, the One and only and the source of endless mercies.
There is no distinction between two persons except for virtue and knowledge. The people, whether white or black, are all equal before God. They all have been created from mud and eventually they return into earth.
On the contrary what we see today's so called forward and well educated society that still the people are being divided on the basis of Color, caste, race.
Take the examples of the so called super powerful country of the world, America, but to me it sounds to be the like the land of most illiterate people on the planet who still in 21st century have divided their people into Black Americans and White Americans on the basis of color, who have divide their language into black English and White English.
Forget about the behaviors in your own communities, if we go through the events in the life of Imam Ali during his battles and his behavior to his foes we'll get a lot to learn and if we follow may be we will be able to get out of the twisted troubles today. Here are a few examples:
Talha bin Abhi Talha was not only a bitter enemy of Islam, and a personal enemy of Holy Prophet (pbuh) and Imam Ali (a.s.). In the battle of Ohad, Imam ALI (a.s.) faced him and in a hand to hand encounter dealt him such severe blow that he reeled and fell down. Imam Ali (a.s) left him like that and walked away from him. Many Muslim warriors ran upto Imam and advised him to finish Talha, saying that he was Imam's worst enemy,
Imam Ali a.s replied I cannot strike a person who is not in a position to defend himself.
But, Alas…! Forgetting this teaching as a Muslims, the richest Arab country (Saudi) is continuously striking the poorest Arab country (Yemen) killing a child in every ten minutes (UNICEF) which is a clear genocide, and their (Saudi's) bodies and outfits show the signs of being muslims.
In the battle of Jamal in the thick of the encounter his slave Qamber brought some sweet syrup saying: "My lord, the sun is very hot and u have been constantly fighting, have a glass of this cold drink to refresh yourself."
Imam Ali a.s replied "Shall I refresh myself when people around me are dying of thirst and wounds?" instead of me take a few wounded men with you and give each of these a cool drink.
And again so unfortunate, these humans of today still complete their thirst by the blood of innocents, be that in Yemen,
be that in Palestine,
be that in Kashmir,
be that in Myanmar or any oppressed nation of the world, there is a genocide everywhere.
Imam Ali a.s once said: "In my regime even an ant shouldn't remain hungry, and if it is not so, then I have no right to rule". This was Imam Ali's Justice, he didn't feed only Muslims but also the insects, What a generous personality!
On the contrary we see the nations like Somalia, Nigeria and Yemen and etc (as per reports by Food Security Information Network) are on the verge of Famine. Over 17 million people (65% households) only in Yemen are food insecure. Severe malnutrition has turned their bodies into skeletons.
3. THE MARTYRDOM OF IMAM ALI (a.s.) It was the month of Ramazan, the month of fasting, it was the time of morning prayer, the mosque was full of Muslims. Imam Ali (a.s.) was kneeling before God and when he raised his head a terrible blow fell upon it giving it a very deep cut. There was a great disturbance and commotion in the mosque. The murderer started running. Muslims followed, caught and bound him in ropes and brought him before Imam Ali (a.s.) who was on the prayer carpet drenched in blood and was reclining upon his sons. He knew that the blow was fatal and could not survive it but when the murderer was brought before him, he saw that the rope which had bound him was so tightly bound that it was cutting into his flesh,
Imam Ali turned toward Muslims and said: "You should not be so cruel with your fellow being, slacken his rope, don't you see that they are cutting into his flesh and he is in agony."
Subhan Allah! Such a generous personality, till the moment he passed away, has taught us a life-long lessons which if followed there will definitely justice and peace in place of airstrikes, chemical attacks, pellet gun attacks and all kinds of wars!

Last week I had a taste for pork carnita tacos. There is one big problem with this. I live in Central Pennsylvania. The closest thing we have to Mexican food is Qdoba, which is not Mexican food.
Growing up in the west suburbs of Chicago I always had access to decent Mexican food. So when I left Illinois and lived in Ohio and now Pennsylvania I was in for a bit of a shock in the lack of ethnic cuisine. I long for a decent steak burrito, fajitas, and actual tacos.
I started working on creating my own dishes based on what I think might work just to maybe help with my cravings. Of course not having an amazing abuela to teach me any of this, I have to guess and it's bound to be wrong. Except sometimes in the wrongness of my creation it tastes really freaking good.
So here is what I am calling Gringo Pork Carnita Street Tacos.
Ingredients For Pork Carnita Tacos:
- 3 lbs pork loin or pork shoulder
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup apple juice or orange juice
- Garlic Powder to taste
- Cilantro to taste
- Black Pepper to taste
- Salt to taste
- 8 oz Green Taco Sauce
- Onion Powder to taste
- 2 packets of taco seasoning
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- Street soft taco shells
- 4 Cheese Mexican Blend (unless you can get Anejo.)
- Red or Green Salsa
Directions For Pork Carnita Tacos:
- Place pork loin in the crockpot with chicken broth, apple juice or orange juice, garlic, cilantro, black pepper, salt, and onion powder. Pour half green taco sauce onto meat in crock pot.
- Cook on high for 6 hours.
- Pull out pork and remove strings if needed. Shred pork with two forks until it's thin pieces of meat.
- Add two packets of taco seasoning mixing between each one. Add ½ cup to 1 cup of chicken broth to the pork and mix. You don't want extra juice but you want to moisten the piece.
- Preheat oven to 450F. Spread olive oil on cookie sheet and use a paper towel to coat the sheet. Spread meat onto cookie sheet and place in oven. Pour more green taco sauce over meat.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes or until pieces of meat start browning and getting crispy.
- Assemble tacos according to taste.
I know this is not authentic but these tacos were pretty darn good. My husband and I both ate 5 each. I call this meal a success.

Found on the list of the world's most devout humanitarians is Ms. Sharon Prince. Sharon Prince is a lady who garners respect from people all around the world for her dedicated fulfillment of multiple role obligations as an entrepreneur, abolitionist, and President/Chair of Grace Farms Foundation. As an abolitionist, Prince fights to end human trafficking, violence against women, and serves on the board of Next Generation Nepal to help unite exploited children with their families. Nonetheless, through her leadership roles over Grace Farms (New Canaan, Connecticut based nonprofit organization dedicated to enriching lives of the community), Sharon Prince works diligently to ensure the longevity of the foundation's reputation for being an overall place of peace and grace.
Yet, as of recently, Grace Farms has welcomed Ms. Carrie Mae Weems to align with the foundation's objectives and philanthropic mission of Sharon Prince. Similar to the works of Ms. Prince, Ms. Weems too has dedicated her life and career as an internationally influential American artist to help bring global awareness and insight to multicultural issues regarding race, violence, injustice, and inequality. Moreover, just like Sharon Prince, Carrie Mae Weems shares her sense of good will, hope, and aspirations to bring about positive changes among all in the world. With more than 30 years of multi-media experience that entail numerous collaborations with poets, singers, dancers, filmmakers, and architects to help convey messages of humanitarianism in the world, it is no wonder why Prince deems Ms. Weems to be the perfect addition to the foundation to help usher in more peace and grace in the world. As mentioned by Sharon Prince, we live in a world where destructive forces are so great that there must be a universal commitment and understanding to help eradicate these issues—a belief that she knows Ms. Weems passionately understands.

Welcome to February, Scorpio!
Home, Family
Your home and loved ones will fill your thoughts, thanks to the Sun's journey through Aquarius and a stunning new Moon in this sign as of February 4.
You're likely to spend more time at home, looking at real estate, or visiting parents or other relatives. If you're working on a home improvement project, your powerful communication skills and practicality will help you interact effectively with contractors and family alike. So it's a great time to redecorate, create plans to remodel, or work on moving.

Friendship, Fundraisers
The full Moon on February 19 will bring attention to a friend or important group you belong to. A pal may need help related to health or work concerns or could offer you assistance if you need it.

Romance, Creativity
On February 18, when the Sun enters Pisces, the focus will shift to your love life. After ample time with family, you'll need time with your sweetheart for fun and adventures.

This period also could bring developments related to a creative project or your children's activities (or your wish to have a child).
Pay attention to dreams, which may bring insights in any of these parts of your life. Keep a journal by your bed to record what you recall when you waken and follow up on all hunches.
Love Is In The Air
February 14 brings Valentine's Day here in the U.S. as well as many other countries.
If you're in a relationship, enjoy passion with your beloved. If you're unattached, host a family party and ask everyone to bring friends, as you'll have fun and may meet someone eligible.
And speaking of fun, for many people, Valentine's Day isn't complete unless it includes chocolates. I've created a Chocolates Chooser that gives you your chocolate profile based on your zodiac sign. Check it out and treat yourself (and your amour) to some sweet goodies this month!

What is a Risk Manager?
Risk management is the discipline of minimizing an organization's exposure to things which could negatively impact their business. Risk managers minimize exposure to risk through careful analysis of pertinent information, trends and history.
Why are Risk Managers important?
Businesses that manage risk understand that success is driven by doing many things right and avoiding things that could go wrong. The Risk Manager sets the standard for what is acceptable risk versus things that could negatively impact the long term success of the business. By having people focused on risk, the business can function smoothly and be prepared for situations that could arise.

Ulrik Bo Larsen, CEO & Founder, Falcon.io
Falcon.io: Not a hack but a growth journey
Ulrik Bo Larsen's Falcon.io was acquired by Cision four months ago so everyone was excited to hear about the journey.
A lot of the tactics used by Falcon.io as experiments have since become more commonly spread – "tools of the trade" as Morten Elk of SimpleSite later put it – some of which are definitely worth repeating:
Get the right sales staff and make inside sales work:
Ulrik hired an "Inside Sales Napoleon" in 2012 and proved that their inside sales model worked – although Falcon.io is a B2B SaaS product which at that time typically was sold via classic sales reps visiting each client.
The scalable business model led to a more aggressive market ambition. And allowed the company to have everyone work from one office in Copenhagen. At least for a start.
Cash flow strengthened by prepayments:
Falcon.io started to focus on getting annual prepayments – when you're growing, that tactic really helps your cash flow compared to monthly payments. Simple, yet extremely effective.
Successfully and consistently landing annual prepaid SaaS contracts enabled Falcon.io to raise a very decent series A investment.
Win. Or die.
Another thing that fueled Falcon.io's journey was the "go big or go home" notion: This game was not "the winner takes it all" but very few players would come out as winners. And the market was global, not regional or local. So the ambitions were high from the beginning – and the strategy and execution built on those ambitions.
Predictable revenue:
When raising 20m EUR in VC funding you and your investors typically have a growth projection that you expect to develop as predicted – so the desired "hockey stick" materializes a few steps down the road.
Metrics rarely behave exactly like predicted. And hockey sticks are fragile.
However, Falcon.io track and analyse everything they do and have built thorough growth processes. So when some things went off track they could correct them quickly – see NGH#13 for a specific Falcon.io story on that – and that helped Ulrik & Co not run out of oxygen (i.e. cash!).
Watch the video for a full end-to-end story on Falcon.io from their initial years and up till now.

Let's Walk to Ottawa! How a Marathon Hike Prepared Me to Be a Startup Entrepreneur
When I was in high school we decided to walk to Ottawa. By we I mean 6 of us who were all in the school's camping club, which was called Outward Bound and modeled after the Colorado-based program with the same name. We camped year-round, regardless of the season or the weather. One year a teacher drove us up north of Kingston, Ontario, my hometown, for a winter camping weekend with the windows down in her car to "acclimatize" us. It was close to zero outside. By the time we got to our destination, a frozen lake 30 miles north, we were thoroughly "acclimatized," which is to say: half frozen.
Every June, we traveled to Algonquin Park for a 7 day canoe trip. Unfortunately, June happens to be the time of the year when there's an overlap between blackfly season and mosquito season. Sometimes the air was literally black with swarms of bloodthirsty insects.
The year we decided to walk to Ottawa was the first year the Rideau Trail, a hiking trail between Kingston and Ottawa, opened. Ottawa is about 100 miles north but the trail is closer to 170 miles long.
A few weeks before spring break, we met in the school library and started to plan our expedition. We got maps of the trail and identified locations where we would camp at night based on how many miles we assumed we could walk each day. We had just enough time to make it over the break: 10 days from Friday to Sunday. We wrote lists for food and equipment. We arranged for a friend to drop off supplies halfway there. Another friend, who had his pilot's license, said he would pick us up in Ottawa and fly us home if we made it. We knew he didn't expect us to get there.
The weather was cold–even for Ontario in April–on the day we started. A few friends and family saw us off at the start of the trail. We set off, brimming with optimism and good humor, our backpacks heavy with food and equipment. We crossed the 401–the major highway between Toronto and Montreal–a few hours later and it felt like we were leaving civilization behind. Soon after, we lost the trail in a muddy field. We consulted our maps and circled back to find it. We ended up at a dead end in a field covered in snow and ice.
We followed a county road that ran parallel to the trail and tried to rejoin it a mile or so later. Same result: impassable mud, snow and ice. I think I mentioned: spring was late that year. As darkess fell, we set up camp within view of a lonely farmhouse. Late that night it started to rain. It was cold; the temperature was in the mid 30's. The next morning we relit our sodden campfire and and ate a miserable breakfast in a steady downpour. This was not what the way we'd imagined it. After breakfast, one member of the group deserted and headed toward the farmhouse to call for a ride home.
We walked all day in the pouring rain as frigid water soaked through our hats, our jackets, our pants, our socks and shoes. Piers, a stocky giant, had borrowed his dad's hiking boots. Turns out they hadn't been used in years, possibly even decades, and the stiff leather chaffed his feet and ankles, causing severe blisters. It was only Day 2. We tried to joke about our naiveté as we'd planned the trip in the warm library.
That night we reached Gould Lake, which was in a conservation area where we'd hiked and camped many times. At the south end of the lake was a barn used by the conservation society. But the barn was locked. Someone remembered hearing about a hidden key. We found it and got inside. The barn had no electricity but it had large propane heaters. We turned them on, emptied our backpacks and dried our drenched clothes and gear. We cooked hot food on a portable camp stove. We laid out our sleeping bags on the cold concrete floor, grateful for the shelter. We could hear the rain hammering on the tin roof. The next morning we ate breakfast and repacked our backpacks knowing that we would have quit if we hadn't been able to stay dry that night.
Outside we discovered that the rain had turned to snow overnight but the sky was clearing. We followed the trail for a while but lost it in an area of steep hills and swampy ravines and had to use a compass to guide us across the rough terrain. After a couple of hours of strenuous bushwhacking, we found ourselves on a promontory overlooking the frozen lake. To our left, the shoreline curved around a wide bay–several miles of ravines and dense bush. Across from us we saw a small dock about half a mile across the ice. Our map showed us that the dock was close to the trail. A discussion ensued. Violent disagreements about what to do: weighing the risks of crossing the ice versus bushwhacking for several hours. We put it to a vote: the majority was for crossing the ice. We each grabbed a long branch to use as a pole in case we fell through. The sullen minority of dissenters followed reluctantly as we stepped onto the ice. We spread out to distribute our weight and headed for the dock, hearts pounding. The ice was slushy in places and dark colored. The water below would be freezing cold–enough to kill you in a few minutes. We walked as fast as we dared and the dock loomed closer. But, as we approached the shore, we saw there was open water in front of the dock. It was probably only a couple of feet wide but it looked like ten. Turning back was not an option. One by one we took a running leap over the water and onto the dock.
I still look back on that as one of the riskiest things I've ever done in my life. It was a calculated risk but it could have ended very badly.
Why tell that story now so many years later? Because, as the founder of a startup, it seems totally familiar.
I conceived of Gigmor, my musician-matching website, in the warm library of my imagination and am now in the thick of all the usual, well-documented challenges facing unfunded startups: attracting and retaining real customers, building a team of people who believe in our mission, pitching investors, working on long overdue enhancements to the site, finding a path to profitability… Yup, it's damn hard. It's a roller coaster of emotion: from conquer-the-world-highs to 3 am panic attacks. But my years in the outdoors prepared me for this. You have to be able to talk yourself through the tough times, you have to pace yourself for a marathon, you have to deal with unexpected challenges. You have to ignore those who tell you you're crazy, your idea sucks, you'll never succeed. It's like crossing that ice: failure is not an option. (And you need some luck too.) You have to keep going no matter how insurmountable the obstacles look. You have to have a lot of passion–enough to carry you through the tough times. Otherwise, the rational part of your brain that told you to quit a year ago would win the argument.
So back to the hike. Did we make it to Ottawa? The rest of that week is a blur. I remember our friend bringing us supplies of fresh food. He got out of his car and laughed at us. We must have looked pretty rough. I remember cold nights, interminable days of walking, Piers yelling, "Every step is pain!" But once we were past the potentially fatal danger of crossing that ice, everything else seemed possible. All we had to do was keep walking. Step by step, hour after hour, day after day.
So yes we made it. Our friend flew up to take us home. (He became a commercial pilot.)
Will Gigmor make it across the precarious spring ice and become the successful company I'm imagining? Damn straight. I'm betting on it.
Here's a picture of us with the full article in the Richmond Review, March 29, 1973.

Now I want that "cat value" or a similiar command blocks until the GPIO value changes.
Already tried

This week marked another craving… Pasta
Last year I probably had pasta three or four times a week, whereas so far this year I have had none. It has been nearly two months without the Italian shape-shifter, meaning I have missed out on around 28 pasta dishes and counting.
I was heading to my parents for the weekend, and knowing they had made pasta before and had a kitchen big enough to facilitate this sort of activity I decided this would be the weekend of pasta.
As I'm a planner as soon as I knew I was making pasta I had to sit and think about which delicious dish I was going to create for my first taste of pasta From Scratch. With pasta dishes there are endless options of goodness from a basic garlic oil and chilli, to Bolognaise, Carbonara, and Arrabbiata. In the end I opted for a tomato based sauce, although I will definitely be trying a basic garlic sauce when I next get my rolling pin out – which will hopefully be soon as writing about it makes it quite an appealing prospect!
One day I will get ambitious and organised enough to try something like pasta mid week, but for now weekend cooking allows me to spend 4 or 5 hours trying something new without eating a whole pile of fruit, loaf of bread or collapsing from starvation.
So I embarked on my journey into the gluttenous gluttony of pasta. For some reason, and I don't know why (maybe it's the good luck I have had with everything else?), I thought pasta would work perfectly. I presumed it would go really well and be pretty simple.
I don't want to mislead you, it is actually pretty simple but for some reason the food gods weren't smiling quite so brightly on me this weekend and the pasta was a bit of a challenge.
The weekend started off brilliantly, with a Saturday morning trip to get the ingredients. Being out in the countryside I was lucky enough to have an inspiring stroll around Stroud farmers market. Looking at great quality fresh ingredients got me really excited.
Not only did I manage to get the Tipo 00 flour, fresh eggs and lovely garlic (which I was assured was French- not Chinese like the supermarkets) but also fresh yeast and some beautiful Rhubarb!
My original project had no aspirations to be anything other than From Scratch. But since starting it I have realised it's all about great food and great tastes and as a result I'm going to try and eat as seasonally and as locally produced as possible.
Because I think as much as making your own food does lead to delicious dishes, when it's been dug up fairly recently and is currently at its best it's like collecting enough gold tokens in the Crystal Dome and scooping the grand prize rather than just ending up with the 'well done' crystal. So those are the sorts of ingredients I should be trying to source.
And despite living in London it's not really that difficult, but perhaps more on that another time as I think we are all hungry for pasta.
So after the obligatory trip to the supermarket to get the remainder of items I headed back with parents in tow – who will now be referred to as Sue (not because that's her name, but because she acted as a superb Sous Chef) and my dad The Food Connoisseur.
Items on today's menu:
- Butter – I don't know if anyone saw 'Jamie's 30 minute meals' – but I have been well and truly schooled. Apparently churning your own butter isn't very hard and with this knowledge I can no longer in good conscience buy it, so From Scratch butter it is
- Vanilla and rhubarb ripple ice cream with honeycomb topping
- Then the main event – pasta with a tomato sauce
I'm going to start with the pasta because quite frankly everything else is just a side order of goodness.
Pasta – I followed a very simple recipe (although I don't think pasta has a complex recipe)
600g Tipo 00 flour
6 eggs (I was lucky to get my hands on some that had been laid the day before)
1. Place the flour in a bowl (you need quite a big bowl for this) – alternatively you can use a board (the traditional way). Make a well in the center of the flour and crack the eggs into it. Beat the eggs with a fork until smooth. Using the tips of your fingers, mix the eggs with the flour, incorporating a little at a time, until everything is combined.
2. Knead the pieces together until you have one piece of dough, then knead the dough until it is smooth. Wrap in cling film and place in the fridge for at least 30 mins (make sure it completely covered otherwise I will go hard and nobody wants stiff pasta!)
The next stage is where it gets a bit more complex, the rolling of the pasta.
3. Start by taking a portion of dough about the size of an orange and flattening it on your board. I rolled out by hand ( I think it's much easier and will look a lot closer to pasta if you can use a pasta machine, but as I rolled by hand I will give instructions for this). So with your flattened dough start a sequence of rolling and turning the dough and then folding in half. Keep to the following pattern of roll, turn, roll, fold, roll, turn, roll, fold. Do this about 5 or 6 times and you will feel the quality of the pasta change as it will get even smoother.
4. To roll out into your final pasta keep rolling and turning until you have a good shaped rectangle, then roll this down until it's just thinner than a beer mat. To turn this into long strips loosely roll the dough up like a Swiss roll and then slice down.
5. Unravel these quickly as they get stuck together if you take to long and that's just a pain to roll them again.
6. Throw the pasta into a pan of boiling water and cook for about 5 mins or until it is cooked
So that's the pasta – aside from the fact it was slightly too thick at the ends and took about 10 mins longer to cook than expected, I think it turned out pretty well. Just as an aside I had some dough left over and used it again later this week and rolled it much thinner – it cooked in about 5 mins and was delicious so I think it just needed to be that little bit thinner.
I felt happy with the pasta under my belt but to make the perfect pasta dish I had been craving I needed an exquisite sauce.
So I made tomato with bacon on Saturday and classic bolognaise on Thursday.
Luckily they both started off the same with the tomato base- part my mum's recipe, part mine – so let's call it the generational tomato sauce
Salt and pepper
Boiling water
½ onion
2 garlic cloves
1 apple
2 celery sticks
Dash of sugar
- Chop the onion and soften in a hot pan with some olive oil, meanwhile wash and chop your tomato's (if you're not doing completely From Scratch you can use a tin of tomatoes – or do a mix)
- Put the tomato's into the pan – stir in with onion for a minute and then cover with boiling water (you want to completely cover the tomatoes and then add a bit more – you shouldn't have too much liquid but you need to make sure your sauce isn't too thick to blend)
- Add chopped garlic, small chunks of apple, salt and pepper and celery chunks – let this simmer until everything has softened and mushed together.
- Add a dash of sugar to taste – about a teaspoon and a half – leave for another five minutes – stirring occasionally
- Then blend the sauce down – taste and add any necessary salt, pepper, or sugar
That's a great tomato base which at this point can be customised to whatever you wish.
As I said I did a great bolognaise – by making this sauce, frying off mince in a separate pan then adding it with some carrot and basil to the sauce- once you have cooked your pasta add a bit of pasta water to loosen the sauce.
I served with a bit of basil to garnish (because when you have gone to the trouble of making your own pasta it's great to have a lovely looking dish at the end!)
This was honestly one of the best pasta bolognaise I have ever had – I was so pleased as it made all of the time spent rolling and kneading worthwhile. I can't wait to make it again 🙂
So on to the sweet after taste of success- vanilla and rhubarb ripple ice cream with honeycomb topping.
This ended up being a brilliant dessert.
I used another no churn ice cream recipe but this time it came out far creamer than the coconut one. So I recommend this recipe as a base for no churn ice cream. (I will try it with different flavours and keep you posted on what works and what doesn't.)
70g/3oz sugar
3 egg yolks
2 vanilla pods – or dash of vanilla essence
For the ripple
2 stems of forced rhubarb
2oz sugar – you can add a bit more to taste – as rhubarb can be quite tart
3 tbsp water – it doesn't look like much but remember the fruit generates its own juices
- Halve the vanilla pods lengthways and scrape out the seeds. Add the pods to the cream and bring to the boil, then add the sugar and stir until the sugar has dissolved.
- Meanwhile, whisk the egg yolks in a large bowl then slowly whisk in the hot cream mixture.
- Pour the mixture through a fine sieve into another bowl and whisk in the vanilla seeds.
- For Rhubarb Ripple – wash and chop the rhubarb add to pan with water and sugar- bring to the boil and simmer until the fruit has broken down
- Then strain the liquid through a sieve into a pan (pressing down to get all of the juice), simmer until the juice has a syrup texture and leave to cool.
- Pour the ice cream mixture into a freezer-proof container, then ripple through the rhubarb syrup and freeze for 4-5 hours, or until set.
This was the perfect size for one tub (lasting two sittings which I thought was pretty impressive!)
(NB in the spirit of using and keeping everything, you can add a bit more sugar to the discarded fruit and turn it into rhubarb compote that could be used for loads of different desserts such as rhubarb fool, baked rhubarb Alaska etc.)
I then made some honeycomb to crackle on top.
1tbsp vegetable oil, for oiling baking tray
80g/3oz butter
160g/5½oz caster sugar
80g/3oz golden syrup
2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- Grease a 20cm/8in square baking tin with vegetable oil.
- Gently heat the butter, sugar and golden syrup in a medium-heavy based pan until the sugar has dissolved. Turn up the heat and boil rapidly, without stirring. If the mixture goes darker at one side of the mix, then gently swirl the pan to mix it all together. Keep boiling until the mixture goes a golden-brown colour – this will take about 5 minutes. ( I didn't have a heavy based pan – so mine got slightly burnt on the bottom- if you don't have one just swirl more regularly to stop the pan catching).
- Add the bicarbonate of soda and stir it for a few seconds, which will make the mixture expand and fizz. Tip the honeycomb into the oiled baking tin and leave until cold and set.
Once this set I bashed it into pieces and sprinkled over the finished ice cream.
Then fireworks! – Here's some food science for you: Honeycomb and rhubarb compote = mouth fizzles! (It was almost the same sensation you get with the popping candy – but From Scratch – who knew?!)
Anyway I found it very exciting and definitely added it to my list of current favorite dishes.
All in all it was a great weekend of food, even if the pasta deities weren't quite as welcoming as the bread overlord! However attempt number two definitely hit the mark, which suggests that as with all things practice makes perfect.
So lots more pasta for me then 🙂

Something I've noticed throughout playing tumbleseed is that these can go hand and hand but you can also have one without the other both ways.
You can almost guaranteed make it to the second biome with just a checkpoint seed and not going for crystals but going up the whole time.
You can nearly always get around 20+ Gems on the first biome but it comes with a risk.
What i'm interested in is;
what's everyone else's take on Greed Vs Survival?
do you have a set balance you follow between the two?
are you just a greed steed leading machine who goes for every crystal and tries to mid max?
do you prefer to survive or get that economy going?
is there a certain way between or outlying around the two that you find more fun?

We also consider the initiative with which you seek out opportunities that enhance your knowledge. We want to understand your willingness to master concepts that may not be immediately relevant to your intended business, to carve your path in ambiguous environments and to support the academy's goal of developing you into a well rounded entrepreneur with a clear understanding of all that this entails.
Demonstrated Leadership Potential
As we review your application, we are considering your leadership potential as demonstrated through your personal character and professional competence.
Your personal character matters not only because integrity is a cornerstone of Mavericks Academy, but also because of the vast responsibility our society places on leaders of businesses and social-sector organizations. As a result, we look for evidence of behaviours consistent with your ideals, even under difficult circumstances.
We want to understand your personal motivation and convictions and your ability to confront complex, unfamiliar issues with good judgement. We also try to uncover the ways in which challenges to your beliefs may have changed some of your perspectives and reinforced others.
In understanding your professional competence, we look for both leadership experience and potential. In doing so, we don't limit ourselves to your professional life. Neither should you. We look at your background for evidence of the ways you have influenced the people and organizations around you, and the way those experiences have shaped you.
We look for evidence of your desire to make a lasting impact in the organizations you serve and create throughout your career, inspiring and motivating all around you.
We consider your awareness of what you do well and the areas in which you can improve, and your openness to feedback. Ultimately, we gauge your commitment to utilizing fully your opportunities and available resources.
Personal Qualities & Contributions
The strongest applications we see are those in which your thoughts and voice remain intact. The Mavericks community relies on authenticity among students. To understand how you will contribute too, and will benefit from our community, we need to know who you are, not simply what you have done. Your experiences, beliefs, passions, dreams and ambitions will help in forming our future, just as much as we help form yours.
Take time to reflect on who you are and have confidence in yourself. We always remember that there is neither an "ideal" candidate nor a "typical" Maverick student. You should remember this, too.


text: Layne Simpson - September 23, 2010 Legacy of the Perfect Score Three-and-a-half decades ago, a McMillan benchrest rifle shot the first registered perfect score. Today, the company's rifles carry on the tradition of above-par excellence. By Layne Simpson The very first five-shot group I fired with a McMillan Legacy and the Federal 175-grain Gold Medal loading of the .308 Winchester measured 0.299 inch. And I really wasn't trying all that hard.When testing a new rifle, I usually start the program by firing five barrel-fouling rounds before getting down to business, and I had quickly sent four Sierra MatchKings downrange before noticing how close they had clustered on the target. That got my attention, and after carefully squeezing off my fifth shot, I was pleased to see it snuggle inside its mates with no increase in group size. What a pleasant way to kick off the evaluation of a new rifle! I was impressed by the tiny size of that group, but I was by no means surprised by the accuracy of the rifle because the McMillan name has been associated with the accuracy world for a long time. Brothers Mac, Pat, and Gale McMillan started handloading prior to World War II and became involved in informal benchrest shooting shortly after the war. They often traveled from their homes in Arizona to several other states in order to compete. This was quite a few years before registered benchrest competition as we know it today got started.I first became aware of the McMillans about 35 years ago when reading about a group shot by Mac in an NBRSA-sanctioned match at the Skunk Creek rifle range near Phoenix. The date was September 23, 1973, (Mac's 59th birthday) and he was shooting a 10.5-pound Light Varmint class rifle in .222 Remington. It was just about an all-McMillan rifle. Mac had built the action, and brother Pat had designed it. The rifle also had a barrel made by Pat and a fiberglass stock built by brother Gale. It wore a Leupold 12X scope that had been bumped to 24X by Wally Siebert. The dies used by Mac to make his 50-grain bullets from J4 jackets were also made by Pat. Mac's competition load consisted of Remington cases, 23.5 grains of Hodgdon BL-C (Lot No. 1), and a prototype primer that would soon thereafter be introduced by CCI as the BR-4. A five-shot group fired by Mac during that 100-yard event was measured by match officials with a dial caliper modified by the addition of a clear plexiglass plate containing a .22-caliber reticle. All five of his shots fit inside the reticle for an incredible group-size measurement of 0.000 inch. For the first time in recorded history, the perfect group had been shot! Shortly thereafter, the group was measured with a special 60X microscope capable of accuracy to 0.0001 inch, and it still came out at 0.000 inch. The target was then mailed around to seven members of the NBRSA records committee (who each measured it with less sophisticated instruments), and they came up with an average measurement of 0.009 inch. Other shooters who were there when Mac shot the match were convinced that it was indeed the perfect group and were disappointed to see it grow in size a bit when officially measured, but it all turned out to be moot since as far as I know, the record continues to stand today as the smallest five-shot group ever fired in registered benchrest competition.Pat eventually sold his barrel-making business, and Gale went from making a few fiberglass stocks in his garage for his benchrest shooting buddies to founding a company called McMillan Fiberglass Stocks in 1973. During those early years, the company mainly produced stocks for benchrest shooting, but in 1975 a contract was received from the U.S. Marine Corps for stocks to be used in building M40A1 sniper rifles. A similar stock known as the GPH (General Purpose Hunting) was soon offered to hunters and varmint shooters in the private sector. Designed by Gale McMillan, the G30 action is machined from 17-4 stainless steel, utilizes a precision-ground recoil lug that is sandwiched between the face of the receiver and the barrel shank, and accepts the same scope-mounting bases as the Rem. Model 700.The McMillan's built their first custom rifles sometime in the 1960s, and after specializing in benchrest rifles for awhile, they started putting together hunting rifles, most of them on the Remington Model 700 action. Impressed with how easy it was to build a super-accurate rifle around that action, they pretty much copied it when eventually making the decision to fabricate an action of their own, and they even called it the MCRT for McMillan Remington Type. During the early 1990s, the Signature Action was introduced, and while it remained very much like the Remington Model 700 action, it had two ejectors: the Remington plunger type and the blade style of the Pre-'64 Winchester Model 70 action. Gale passed away in 2000, and no one I talked to while I was writing this report seemed to know for certain why he chose to go with dual ejectors. Both designs have their advocates, so perhaps it was his way of making sure hunters and shooters on both sides of the argument were happy.During the next few years the company went by different names, and in 2007 McMillan Brothers became the present McMillan Firearms. During that same year the rifle was also given the new name of G30 in honor of the late Gale McMillan who was born in 1930. The G30 is presently a member of McMillan's Custom Collection of hunting rifles, which is comprised of six variations called Legacy, Dynasty, Outdoorsman, Prodigy, Heritage, Prestige, and Tactical Hunter.Depending on the model, caliber options are .243 Winchester, .270 Winchester, .270 WSM, 7mm Remington Magnum, .308 Winchester, .30-06, .300 WSM, .300 Winchester Magnum, .300 Remington Ultra Mag, .30-378 Weatherby Magnum, .375 Holland & Holland Magnum, and .416 Remington Magnum. Other chamberings are available on special order.The various models differ mainly in weight, barrel length, and the styles of their synthetic stocks. The lightest, at a nominal 6.75 pounds, is the Legacy in .308 Winchester with its classical stock styling. The heaviest is the Heritage in .375 H&H and .416 Rem. Mag. with its Monte Carlo-style stock; it weighs in at 8.25 pounds. Barrel lengths range from 22 inches for the .308 Win. to 24 inches for standard cartridges such as .30-06 and .270 Winchester to 26 inches for the .30-378 Weatherby Magnum.The Heart Of The RifleThe heart and soul of any rifle is its action, and McMillan builds the G30 in three lengths--short for short cartridges, such as the .308 Win. and .300 WSM; long for cartridges ranging in length from the .30-06 to the .375 H&H; and extra-long for the .30-378 Weatherby. The latter action would also handle the .416 Rigby, .378 Weatherby, and .460 Weatherby should McMillan management choose to offer them as well. Cylindrical in shape, the G30 receiver is shaped very much like the Remington Model 700 receiver and accepts the same scope-mounting base. (A Talley two-piece base is supplied with the rifle.) Also like the Model 700, a washer-style recoil lug is sandwiched between the face of the receiver and the barrel shank. One of the things a gunsmith does when "blueprinting" the Model 700 action is replace its stamped recoil lug with a precision-ground lug, and that's the type used on the McMillan action.The G30 receiver is precision-machined from 17-4 stainless steel, which is said to be tougher and more corrosion resistant than the 4000 series stainless more commonly used in the firearms industry. It is surface-hardened to 43 on the Rockwell chart. The push-feed bolt has a Sako-style extractor and two ejectors: a Remington Model 700 plunger type (left) and a slot (right) for passage of a blade-type ejector that is attached to the inner floor of the receiver bridge, as on the Winchester Model 70. The fully adjustable Jewell trigger is considered by many to be the very best available.The fluted body of the bolt is made of even tougher Type 9310 steel with a surface hardness of more than 60 RC. The straight bolt handle with its hollow knob is within easy reach, even when wearing gloves, yet it hugs the stock closely enough to make the rifle ideal for carrying in a saddle scabbard. The bolt of the G30 action inherited the dual ejectors of McMillan's earlier Signature action, something I have never seen on any other rifle. The bolt release, located on the left side of the receiver bridge, is easy to operate and quite nice in appearance.I am impressed by many things about this rifle, including how easily the firing pin and its spring can be removed from the bolt for cleaning without tools. To disassemble, simply hold the body of the bolt with your left hand and use your right hand to twist the bolt shroud away from you in a clockwise direction. Then pull the firing pin assembly from the bolt body. To install, orient the assembly until its retention lug is aligned with the slot in the bolt body, push it inward, and twist the shroud counterclockwise. Removing the cocking piece and spring from the firing pin is also quite easy, but it does require a small Allen wrench. Everything about the action, including the absence of tool marks and the way the bolt glides to and fro in the receiver, exudes levels of quality and precision found only in custom work.The G30 action is made in the so-called push-feed version--where the extractor does not grasp the rim of a cartridge until it is chambered--as well as a controlled-feed version--where the extractor engages the rim of the cartridge as the bolt pushes it from magazine follower to chamber. Both have the same Sako-style extractor, but a section of the counterbore wall at the face of the controlled-feed bolt is cut away to allow the rim of a cartridge to slip beneath the extractor during chambering. The controlled-feed action also has a three-position, Model 70-type safety lever on its bolt shroud whereas the push-feed action has a two-position lever positioned at the right-hand side of its receiver tang.The push-feed bolt is standard on all models except the Prestige in .375 H&H and .416 Rem. Mag., which has the control-feed bolt. The three-position safety and the controlled-feed bolt are available on other models but only as extra-cost options. And for those who prefer to build their own rifle, or have it built by their favorite gunsmith, both styles of the G30 action alone are available.Depending on caliber, the benchrest-grade barrel is made by Shilen, Lilja, or Schneider, chrome-moly on the Prestige and stainless steel on all other models. Some of my personal rifles wear barrels from these three makers, and believe me when I say none are better. Same goes for the fully adjustable Jewell trigger, with its crisp, butter-smooth movement and finger-friendly fingerpiece. The trigger on the Legacy I shot broke at a crisp 3.25 pounds with a pull-to-pull variation of only 2 ounces and no detectible creep or overtravel. You've got to pull a Jewell trigger to believe how good it really is.The bottom metal on the Outdoorsman in .30-378 Weatherby is an all-steel unit from Sunny Hill, while those on the other models are machined of aluminum in the McMillan shop. The floorplate release button is located inside the front of the trigger bow, and upon request it will be pinned on the Prestige rifle to prevent accidentally dumping cartridges from the magazine while in the close presence of a hungry Alaskan brown bear, an irritated lion, or a Cape buffalo making tracks in your direction. The firing pin is easily removed from the bolt for cleaning without the use of tools. The Legacy's magazine floorplate release is located inside the trigger guard, as it should be on a hunting rifle.The stainless-steel magazine box is pure Remington Model 700, and the one in the Legacy action holds four .308 cartridges. Interior length is 2.870 inches. The two hex-head action bolts are also stainless steel. All metal is coated with a non-reflective (and quite attractive) black baked-on finish called Guncote.McMillan has long been the industry leader in producing top-quality synthetic stocks, and the company continues to hand-build them by laminating layers of woven fiberglass cloth under pressure with epoxy resin. The receiver area of the stock is filled with solid fiberglass, while the fore-end contains epoxy-bonded glass beads. The only hollow area is the buttstock, from the rear of the grip to 2 inches from the butt, and it is filled with urethane foam to deaden sound and to absorb vibration.The type of stock worn by the entire family of McMillan hunting rifles is called the Edge, and its construction differs from the standard stock by the use of graphite cloth rather than fiberglass cloth for a slight reduction in weight. According to my postal scale, the stock on the Legacy weighs 26 ounces, and that includes a 0.75-inch recoil pad, steel quick-detach sling swivel posts, and a pair of aluminum bedding pillars. The complete rifle weighed 6.75 pounds, and the addition of a Zeiss scope and Talley two-piece mount increased its heft to exactly 8 pounds. No sheep mountain would be too high or too steep to climb with this rifle.Fit, Function & AccuracyAs is typical of all McMillan stocks I have examined, fit, finish, and checkering are top-drawer. Most of the synthetic-stocked custom rifles in my battery wear McMillan stocks, and I have yet to experience a single problem with either, and that includes a Weatherby Mark V in .416 Weatherby that has been there and back in the land of hard knocks more times than I can count.In order to be consistently accurate with a variety of loads, all component parts of the barreled action of a rifle have to be concentric and in perfect alignment with each other, and the Legacy gets a very high grade in that department as well. Upon receiving the rifle, I used a Talley two-piece mount to attach a Zeiss 3.5-10X Conquest scope and headed to the range without bore-sighting it. The center of the first five-shot group I fired was only 1.25 inches high and to the right of my aiming point. That also speaks highly for the concentricity of the Talley mount and the Zeiss scope.In addition to being more accurate than any big-game rifle has to be, the Legacy functioned without a hitch, with all cartridges feeding from magazine to chamber like they were coated with grease. I also tried single-feeding the rifle by tossing cartridges through its port without pressing them into the follower, and the bolt shoved each one home without a hitch. Just as important to those who take pride in the rifles they own, the Legacy looks and feels as nicely as it shoots.Considering the price of a McMillan rifle, few of us could afford to own a battery of them, but for those who prefer to do it all with just one rifle, any member of the Custom Collection of hunting rifles would be an excellent choice. Overall quality, workmanship, and class are almost without peer. GET THE NEWSLETTER Join the List and Never Miss a Thing. Sign Me Up

A Breath of Fresh Air at the Mountain Jam Music Festival
The truth of the matter is, people like to stamp their feet to a good live tune. For the past seven years, Mountain Jam Music Festival has provided the perfect environment for foot stamping, crazy dancing, and band discovery. Founded originally as a one-day celebration in honor of New York's number one independent radio, Radio Woodstock, the Mountain Jam Music Festival now boasts the title as the Northeast's premier music festival.
With four days and four stages to fill, there will never be a music deficit here. However, unlike Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza, you won't find any of the top 40 artists on stage at the Mountain Jam Music Festival. This festival puts the focus on talented independent artists who are known for producing incredible live shows. 2011's lineup included My Morning Jacket, Bela Fleck and the Original Flecktones, Michael Franti, The Avett Brothers, Moon Taxi, Civil Twilight, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, amongst many more.
Located in the mountainous region of upstate New York, the Mountain Jam Music Festival promises to keep the heat at a minimum, which is a big plus in comparison to the sweltering weather at Bonnaroo. The festival takes place at Hunter Mountain ski resort, which provides plenty of other great amenities for music fans to take part in over the weekend. The Sky Ride is on hand to give guests a taste of higher altitude, along with the longest and highest zip line known to North America.
Because of its ski resort location, accommodations are easily acquired, but it is definitely a different scene than one might be used to at some of the other popular music festivals. The Mountain Jam Music festival does allow camping, but there are only a limited number of spots available. It is not car-side camping; so you're only going to want to bring what you can comfortable carry for a bit of a walk. Should the onsite camping grounds fill up before you buy your tickets, there are several offsite camping options available. There are also many hotels located nearby with shuttles running often to and from the festival.
Tickets are offered in three-day passes, four-day passes, and single day entrance. New this year, the festival offered music on Thursday evening to its early arriving guests. Be on the lookout around the holiday season for presale activities, followed by early bird ticketing beginning sometime in January. Tickets are priced upwards of $140, with VIP options available. If you've been saving your money to attend, be sure to snatch your tickets early as the Mountain Jam Music Festival has a cap on attendance at about 15,000 to ensure a more intimate fan setting.
In addition to showcasing some of the best independent music out there, the Mountain Jam Music Festival also features the Awareness Village; an area of the festival which seeks to promote planetary consciousness. Inside the Awareness Village center, you'll find a small acoustic stage among many environmental groups on hand to teach you how you too can make a difference in protecting our earth. In attendance at this year's festival was Amnesty International, Community Energy, Clearwater, Frack Action, Rock the Earth, and more. For more information on each of these companies, check out the Mountain Jam Music Festival page, or their individual websites.

Alejandro Correa wasn't thinking when he got behind the wheel on June 3rd after a night of drinking. He wasn't paying attention either. Investigators say that Correa didn't even hit the brakes before careening into the back of a Toyota Corolla that was stopped at a red light. The Toyota was occupied by Benjamin Frias and his wife Giselle Batista. Batista was pronounced dead on the scene. Frias was rushed to the hospital, where he died two days later. Correa, only twenty years old, had to be pulled from the wreckage that once was his Dodge Charger.
In a statement to reporters, Correa explained, "I feel awful. I am very sorry." Correa, charged with DUI manslaughter, posted bail shortly after the accident. He walked out with his arm in a sling, the only injury he sustained from the fatal accident.
Drunk Driving: Common Despite the Dangers and Costs
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, about 1.5 million people are arrested for driving while intoxicated each year. Of those arrests, about 1400 result in a fatality. All fifty states have enacted zero-tolerance laws, meaning that those under 21, like Correa, are not legally allowed to have any amount alcohol on their breath while driving. Florida, like many states, has a .08 BAC (blood alcohol content) limit for adults.
The penalties can be stiffer than the drink that got the driver drunk. The average cost of defending against a DUI criminal arrest is $8,000. On top of that, factor in up to 50 hours of mandatory community service. If anyone was hurt in the accident there is a two year minimum prison sentence.
Note that this is only to defend against the criminal DUI charge brought by the State of Florida and does not take into account any civil actions brought by the victims. These civil damages can be quite substantial, dwarfing those of the criminal penalties in some cases.
Injured by a Drunk Driver?
If you or a loved one has been the victim of a drunk driver's negligence, we understand this is an incredibly difficult time. The grieving process is important. But when you are ready to seek justice, please, give one of our experienced attorneys a call.

After a traumatic accident the last thing you want to think about is paperwork and insurance companies. But these things must be taken care of. Our dedicated team of expert auto accident attorneys can help you navigate the stressful and often complex system. We will make sure that no stone is left unturned.
Not quite ready to make that call? Go ahead and visit our website. There you can read up on our talented legal staff as well as learn some helpful information about the post-accident process, including who pays for what in an auto accident situation. And remember, because we work on a contingent-fee basis, you will not be billed for our services unless we recover for you.

Product Description
FR-A700 Series
The High-end Inverter: Intelligent, Flexible and Powerful
- Power: 0.25kW to 450kW
The FR-A700 frequency inverters combine innovative functions and reliable technology with maximum power, economy and flexibility.
The FR-A700 is particularly well suited for demanding applications like cranes and lifting gear, high-bay warehousing systems, extruders, centrifuges and winding machines.
This generation of inverters has an autotuning function that can obtain all the necessary specifications from the motor in less than a minute, even when the motor is not running.
Ultra-precise speed and torque
When operated with an encoder, the FR-A700 drives impress with ultra-precise speeds across the entire control range (precision ±0.01 %) and extremely exact torque control (±10 % precision and ±5 % repeatability).
Precision without encoders
Even without encoders the FR-A700 continuously calculates the optimum magnetic flux for every operating state. This now makes it possible to use inverters for many applications that were previously the exclusive domain of DC or closed-loop vector drives.
Network capabilities
It comes with both a USB port and a connection for Modbus-RTU as standard equipment. Support is also available for Profibus, CC-Link, CANopen and the SSCNET III motion control network.
Self-diagnostics prevent downtime
This inverter actively monitors its own functions. For example, a pre-alarm is triggered automatically if the fan performance drops to 40 %.
Long service life guaranteed
Mitsubishi Electric frequency inverter drives are known for their long service life, however the FR-A700 sets even higher standards in this area. Its key components are designed for a life of over 10 years.
Comprehensive PLC expertise
The integrated PLC functions of the FR-A700 series enable precise configuration for individual application needs. In addition to this, the inverter can even control simple applications itself without any support from other controllers.
User-friendly operation
Setup is performed with the FR Configurator program, which can also download, store and document application data. Oscilloscope and machine analysis functions help the user to optimise the drive system. Data and settings from the predecessor series can be imported directly and converted for use in the models.
Four overload ranges
The FR-A700 fully supports four overload ranges, which makes it very easy to select the right inverter for every application.

19 Easy 3-Ingredient Recipes Shared By People On Reddit Who Make Them All The Time
Some people love nothing more than spending hours in the kitchen, perfecting their bearnaise sauce, accomplishing the perfect souffleé that never collapses, and slow-cooking their steak in red wine with garlic in preparation for the ultimate beef wellington. Then there's the rest of us. If you're no Gordon Ramsay in the kitchen, then I've got the 19 best three-ingredient recipes for you to try when your tummy's a-rumbling but all you know how to cook is cereal.
Cooking is one of those skills that as adults, we all need a basic understanding of. We need it to survive, grow stronger, and stay healthy. This would explain why it was never something they taught us in school.
Even if you enjoy cooking — which, BTW, offers its own emotional benefits — Father Time doesn't always allow for it. Look at breakfast. By the time you get up after hitting your snooze button 14 times, shave one leg and then stop caring, and put on a bra before flinging it off and deciding on a hoodie, you don't have much time left to whip up a balanced meal.
Whether you're constantly on the go, you hate cooking, or you just don't know WTF you're doing, these 19 three-ingredient recipes might be for you.
1. Grilled Cheese
You bet your fanny grilled cheese takes the number one spot on this list. It's gooey, it's delicious, and I can confirm from personal experience it makes an excellent dinner six out of seven nights a week when you're broke and can't afford anything else. #winning
Some people like to swap out the butter for mayo. This writer can't comment on that, but mayo and I are on good terms, so feel free to proceed.
2. Poutine
Why wouldn't fries be smothered in gravy and cheese? My whole life is smothered in gravy and cheese. And don't even start with the, "But but but cheese curds are CURDLED MILK!" I don't care and the Canadians don't care, and they were onto something brilliant when they came up with poutine, so step off.
3. Breakfast Bagel Sandwich
Sex is nice and all, but have you ever had an egg where the whites are solid but the yolk is still runny? This is what I think about when I'm laying awake at night.
4. Classic PB&J
Don't disrespect the classics. This is an oldie but a goodie. And look! There are so many different types of jams and jellies to try. If I'm feeling feisty, I'll use apple butter instead. I can be rebellious like that, sometimes.
No food ever stuck to the roof of your mouth like a peanut butter and banana sandwich, but the good news is you'll know where to find the leftovers.
6. Caprese
Fine, so it doesn't have any olive oil or a fine balsamic reduction drizzled on top, but when you tell your friends you had "caprese" for lunch, you're going to sound super fancy even though the only mozzarella you could find was string cheese.
7. Flavorful Chicken
Throw the ingredients in some foil, wrap it up, and toss it in the oven. Boom — you have a meal fit for royalty. You seriously can't mess this up, unless you leave it in too long and it starts burning and then I had to run downstairs and open up all the windows to let the smoke out before the fire department showed up.
8. Lamb And Rice
Cooking with spinach is funny. You could use the whole bag and it'll still shrivel up into the tiniest, saddest pile of leaves you've ever seen. Anywho, the jasmine rice will tickle your taste buds.
9. Fish Dinner
Salmon is as versatile chicken is and it's really hard to screw it up. But if you'd like to screw it up, leave it in the oven 10 minutes too long and it'll come out with the texture of leather. You're welcome.
10. Dutch Baby
Dutch baby pancake. German pancake. Dutch puff. Bismarck. The bread thingie that goes by a million different names is a mysteriously fluffy, crispy breakfast dish that rivals pancakes and waffles. Google it and tell me how beautiful it is. Go on.
11. Alfredo Sauce
Okay, fine. This is just a recipe for sauce. But I argue it's perfectly acceptable to eat Alfredo straight up. Fight me.
12. Rice Krispie Treats
If Kellogg's and Jet-Puffed had a love child, it would be Rice Krispie treats. They were one of the most popular sweet treats when we were children/today for me as a 30-year-old woman.
13. Fairy Bread
Nutritious? No. Filling? Not really. But hot damn does it photograph well for Instagram. Plus, sprinkles.
14. Chicken With A Kick
Insider tip: combine the chicken and salsa in a crockpot and let it cook all day while you're miserable at work. Come home to an amazing dinner and a house that smells like the inside of Chipotle.
15. BLT Sandwich
It's the most iconic three-ingredient meal of them all! Yes, fine, it's technically four ingredients when you count the bread. Let's not split hairs here. We're talking about bacon. Have some respect.
16. Peanut Butter Oatmeal
I used to make this *all* the time. I would sprinkle a few oats in a freshly opened jar of peanut butter and then eat the entire thing. This is how you prepare it, right?
17. Simple Pizza
It's just like the pizza pies they serve on the cobblestone streets of Italy, except not even remotely close.
18. Nachos
The juxtaposition of the crispy chip and the melted cheese is rather exciting. Dinner has never been this easy.
19. Crepes
Make them sweet. Make them savory. Make an entire batch and don't share it with your friends. If you love dessert, try spreading Nutella on it and adding some fruit. For something more breakfast-y, add eggs and sausage or bacon. Your life will never be the same.

KJ Vorndran, CFP®, CRPC®, Joins YPG Board of Directors as Finance Chair
- •
- Features
As the growing need for financial education continues to be recognized, Allegiant Private Advisors has pioneered multiple programs designed to increase awareness and knowledge about finance and money management within the Sarasota region. Allegiant Paraplanner KJ Vorndran, CFP®, CRPC® and a Master of Science, Personal Financial Planning candidate, has been one of our key leaders involved in presenting a financial literacy program for the Sarasota Young Professional Group (YPG), part of the Greater Sarasota Chamber of Commerce, and launching Allegiant's Young Professional Mentorship Program. Now, she's lending her professional knowledge and talents to the YPG membership in an additional way.
On October 1, 2019, KJ will begin her volunteer service as Finance Chair on the Young Professionals Group Board of Directors.
YPG is focused on helping young professionals grow personally, professionally, and as leaders in the community. Established in 2003, the organization offers unique opportunities for young professionals to connect with one another and with the Sarasota area.
"One of the primary reasons I've chosen to serve on the YPG board is my personal desire to give back and provide financial expertise I have gained through my work at Allegiant," explained KJ. "Over the past several years, I've also learned that many successful, young professionals in our local community still need to develop basic financial literacy skills. While I'll be committed to keeping the YPG budget in order this coming year, what I'm looking forward to most is helping educate individuals I meet to become more empowered with finance fundamentals as we work together to increase the visibility and influence of young professionals in our region."
At Allegiant, we truly believe in giving back and reinvesting in our community. We feel our firm's commitment as a fiduciary advisor and genuine dedication to striving for excellence is unique; this applies to Allegiant's not-for-profit consulting as well as our team's individual commitment as volunteers in the community. Collectively, we serve on more than 20 boards and committees today and are tremendously proud of KJ's newest volunteer role with YPG.
