In Nevada, you must meet certain requirements to be eligible to receive your contractor's license. Make sure you know what those requirements are before beginning the process.  To become a contractor, you need to have field experience in construction. You need four years of experience to qualify to become a contractor, and this experience only begins to count when you've reached the status of journeyman. A journeyman is someone who has either completed an apprenticeship program in contracting or is an experienced construction worker. You must be out of the initial training stages to be considered a journeyman, meaning you are qualified to perform necessary construction duties without training or supervision.  You can also have four years experience as a supervisor or foreman, meaning you have experience overseeing and supervising physical construction. The next step up from a supervisory position would be a contractor, meaning you manage all daily activities of a construction site.  There are no specific educational requirements to become a contractor. However, undergoing a 3-year training program from an accredited and board-approved college or university can be used in place of experience to qualify you for a license. You will still need a year of field experience after your education. You can browse the Nevada State Contractors Board website for a list of approved schools and programs. The vast majority of the time, you need a license to contract in Nevada. However, under certain circumstances you may be able to work without a license.   If you are working under the supervision of the state or federal government or operating under the jurisdiction of a court, you do not need a license. If you are hired by the federal government to rebuild after a natural disaster you do not need a contracting license.  If you are building on your own property, and you do not intend to sell your property or use it for commercial means, you do not need a license.  If the value of a property is less than $1,000, you do not need a license to contract on that land.  There are a number of exemptions available for land used for agricultural farming purposes. If you are a farmer or are conducting construction on a farm, see if you qualify for an exemption. Contracting licenses in Nevada come in different classifications, Responsibilities and rights vary between license. Make sure you know what license classification works best for you.  A Class A license is for a General Engineering Contractor. You would be allowed to oversee construction projects requiring special engineering knowledge and skills, usually regarding fixing repairs and damages to large structures.  A Class B license is for a General Building Contractor. You would be legally able to oversee projects regarding the construction or remodeling of large buildings that shelter, store, or enclose people, animals, and movable objects. Such projects must require the use of two or more unrelated building skills.  A Class C license is for a Speciality Contractor. In short, any construction job that does not fall into the first two categories would fall into Class C. There are 36 different categories of specialty contractor. You can consult the Nevada State Contractors Board's website for a full list of categories.

Set it to 475°F (245°C), with the rack on the upper third of the oven. Pat the steak dry with paper towels, brush with a light coating of olive oil, and rub vigorously with peppercorns and salt. Heat 1 tablespoon safflower oil in a heavy, oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, then sear the steak on all sides, 3 to 5 minutes total. Place the skillet in the oven, and roast for about 10 minutes for medium rare. Remove from the oven, tent with tin foil, and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes in a dish to catch any juices. Place the skillet back on the stove, and over medium-high heat add the red wine, scraping up the fond (the browned bits on the pan), and cook about a minute, until reduce by half.  Stir in the water and steak juices that have collected in the plate, bring to a boil, and cook 3 to 5 minutes, until the liquid is reduced again by half. Stir in the butter, whisking until the butter is fully blended with the sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cut the steak in half, then slice across the grain in about 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch (5 to 10mm) slices. Arrange a few slices on each plate, and dress with wine sauce. Serve with french fries, a green salad, and the same type of wine you used for the sauce.

Summary: Preheat the oven. Prep the steak. Sear the steak. Roast the steak. Make the sauce. Slice and serve. Serve it up.


If you can’t purchase it directly from the roaster within a week or so of it being roasted, opt for a vacuum-sealed bag from a reputable national coffee-bean roaster. If possible, choose a burr grinder in place of a normal blade grinder. For best results, grind the coffee fresh right before brewing each day.  Experiment with different ground size. Although finer grounds are generally preferred, they can result in a bitterer brew than coarse grounds. Many people recommend that you aim for grounds the size of coarse sugar. If you like the water taste of the water that comes out of your tap, it’s likely to make good coffee. Softened or distilled water should never be used, but carbon-filtered water can reduce the chemical taste of some tap water. Minerals in water are important for the brewing process.

Summary: Purchase freshly roasted, whole bean coffee. Purchase your own coffee grinder, or grind it in the store. Use good water.
