When it comes to eating "off the grid", one of the easiest things you can do is throw out those bottles of purchased salad dressing in favor of the homemade variety. Not only does it taste exponentially better and avoids suspicious ingredients, you can also clear out your refrigerator of all those half-empty bottles of unknown origin (just what year did I buy this, anyway?).
Most of the time, we drizzle our greens with a bit of olive oil and vinegar straight from the bottles, and only whisk up a true vinaigrette for guests. However, this trick from one of our favorite chefs makes vinaigrette so easy, our fridge is stocked and ready for surprise visitors (and our everyday salads taste even better).
Instead of the traditional method of whisking together the ingredients in a bowl, just place them in a canning jar and shake it to form the emulsion. You have an instant storage container and avoid dirty dishes at the same time. Basically, genius.
This recipe is a good starting point for a basic vinaigrette, and is easily customizable to your own taste. The combinations of different vinegars (or citrus juices), oils, and seasonings you can use are endless, and you can adjust the quantities as you see fit.
Basic Vinaigrette
What You Need
1 half-pint canning jar
1 clove garlic (1 teaspoon chopped)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup red wine vinegar*
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
*We like our vinaigrette to taste more tart, so we use more vinegar than the traditional method. Customarily, vinaigrettes use about 1 part vinegar to 3 parts oil, so you may want to start with 1/4 cup and adjust to your own taste.
What To Do
1 Dice a clove of garlic.
2 Place diced garlic, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/8 teaspoon pepper, 1/4 to 1/2 cup red wine vinegar, and 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil in the jar.
3 Shake the jar to emulsify the ingredients. Taste and adjust quantities as desired. Vinaigrette can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks; make sure to bring to room temperature and shake well before serving.

These are some books that I think are worthy of being read! You should check them out
The Fault in Our Stars
by John Green
★ This is my favorite book ever. The writing is beautiful, the plot is unbelievable and I love this book so much. I love the characters and I think you have to read this book. Okay?
by Veronica Roth
This book was pretty good. The plot was fantastic but the characters made me mad because they were predictable.
The Perks of Being A Wallflower
by Stephen Chbosky
★ This book was beautifully written, I loved the characters, the plot, the story. The only reason it isn't five stars is because sometimes I got really confused about which characters matched with their names.
The Maze Runner Series
by James Dashner
★ I wanted to do the whole series as one because I read the first one in December so, I just want to review them together. The first book was great, I loved the characters but the ending sucked. I think the second book was pretty confusing because everyone was betraying everyone else. And the third book went in a different direction. A good direction never the less, but not how I was expecting it.
Paper Towns
by John Green
★ This was fantastic and I love John Green. I love this as a mystery book and, just, wow, A+.
Looking For Alaska
by John Green
★ Along my John Green obsession road, this book talked a lot about death in a way to really understand it. It also made me think about how great reading is, just by the fact I can live through things I would never actually want to do in real life. This is a really good read. You should pick up a copy.
Eleanor & Park
by Rainbow Rowell
★ In the words of John Green: "Eleanor & Park reminded me not just what it's like to be young and in love with a girl, but also what it's like to be young and in love with a book."
Will Grayson, Will Grayson
by John Green
★ I realize I rate a lot of books with four stars but get over it. I read a lot of really good books and there are not a lot of books I don't deeply enjoy. Anyways, I really liked the characters in this book. Especially Tiny Cooper a very large, gay human. I am a human who is very open on the subject of gay marriage. This book shows how they are real people and feel real things. Worth the read.
by R.J. Palacio
★ This book is really really cute. I deeply enjoyed the characters and it is a light but heavy read at the same time. I think that it shows how bullying is a sad thing and how we shouldn't judge people until we get to know them. It is also a bit shallow and not very deep.
Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children
by Ransome Rigs
This book was very interesting and strange. The cover and title are justice to that. The pictures kind of freaked me out. I liked the main character and the plot was very interesting. But sometimes it was too much. I recommend this book to people who like strange novels. Definetily not realistic fiction at all.

HoopsHype Raymond Felton rumors
Sources told ESPN.com that the Mavericks, who immediately made reacquiring Chandler one of their priorities after their first-round playoff exit against San Antonio, soon will complete a trade with the Knicks that they will clinch by agreeing to take back the contract of New York's out-of-favor guard, Raymond Felton, as well. The trade is expected to cost Dallas two starters -- point guard Jose Calderon and center Samuel Dalembert -- along with prized young point guard Shane Larkin, reserve guard Wayne Ellington and future second-round draft compensation. ESPN.com
Sources tell Stein that the teams are in the process of setting up a call with the league office to get the requisite approval on the trade. Chandler is the player Dallas has missed most since it decided to let go several key contributors in free agency after the team's championship run in 2011. ESPN.com
Marc Stein: Sources tell ESPN that Mavericks are in advanced talks on deal to complete trade that will bring Chandler and Raymond Felton to Dallas Twitter @ESPNSteinLine
Marc Stein: Proposed deal would send two Mavs starters to Knicks -- Sam Dalembert and Jose Calderón -- as well as prized young guard Shane Larkin Twitter @ESPNSteinLine
Chris Mannix: Mavericks reserve guard Wayne Ellington is part of a proposed deal between Dallas and New York, per sources. Two sides still talking. Twitter @ChrisMannixSI
Chris Mannix: Framework is Calderon, Dalembert, Larkin and Ellington for Chandler and Felton, sources confirm. ESPN first. Twitter @ChrisMannixSI

Adrian Wojnarowski: New York's deal centered on sending Tyson Chandler to Dallas will be finalized today, league sources tell Yahoo Sports. Twitter @WojYahooNBA
Ian Begley: Regarding #Knicks PG Raymond Felton & his plea agreement, the NBA is expected to review the case and may issue Felton a fine or suspension. Twitter @IanBegley
New York Knicks point guard Raymond Felton is expected to plead guilty to a felony in his gun possession case in exchange for a no-jail sentence, prosecutors said Monday. Felton was in court as the Manhattan district attorney's office outlined the agreement, which would resolve a gun case that arose amid the breakup of his marriage. He's expected to admit June 30 to at least one charge, attempted criminal possession of a weapon — he won't have to come to court to do so — and get a $5,000 fine and 500 hours of community service. "I want to thank the DA for being fair to me in this whole situation," Felton said outside court, also thanking his family, friends and fans "for supporting me and understanding who, the person, I am." Boston Herald
Mike Mazzeo: Felton will avoid jail time #nyk. Under an agreement reached today Felton will have to plead guilty to a felony, serve community service and pay a fine #nyk Twitter @MazzESPN
Meanwhile, Felton's gun-possession charge arrest in March didn't help his status with the Knicks. But legal sources told The Post Felton's attorneys have been in negotiations for a plea bargain that will keep the case from going to trial and keep Felton from serving any prison time. A source close to Felton said he wants to return to New York, feeling he has unfinished business. New York Post
Knicks' guard Raymond Felton and his wife went into overtime on Friday in an attempt to bring their stormy marriage to a peaceful end — but Felton threw a brick at the buzzer. Lawyers for Felton, 29, and his wife Ariane huddled together with a Manhattan judge for close to four hours trying to settle their divorce case, but the two sides couldn't reach a deal. Both the point guard and his law student wife were in court for the proceedings, but sat on opposite sides of the courtroom and did not acknowledge each other while their lawyers went in and out of settlement talks with Justice Deborah Kaplan. New York Daily News
Knicks President Phil Jackson told point guard Raymond Felton during exit meetings last month that he will be traded during the offseason, a league source told SNY.tv. "Raymond has been told he will be moved this offseason," the source said. The Knicks Blog
Mike Woodson said he spoke "in great detail" with Raymond Felton earlier this week about the point guard's struggles on and off the court since his arrest last week on felony weapons charges. Felton responded with what the coach called his "best game of the season," finishing with 18 points and eight assists in a controlled performance in the Knicks' 118-106 slump-busting victory Wednesday over the Timberwolves. New York Daily News
"Those conversations, I've been having a lot of those lately with people who have a big impact in my life — my mom, a lot of people," Felton said of his talk with Woodson, which took place after Monday's loss at Detroit. "It definitely helps (with) everybody just being in my corner helping me through this tough time. "I had to sit back, clear my head, think of some things. I have a lot of people in my life who are in my corner. I got my son who looks up to me as a hero. . . . So I tried to clear my head and just play and be free. . . . My mind was in a different place tonight." New York Daily News
New York Knicks player Raymond Felton committed ADULTERY during his marriage ... so says his estranged wife in divorce docs obtained by TMZ Sports. Ariane Raymondo Felton -- the same woman who ratted Raymond out to the cops about his illegal firearm -- filed docs last month in a New York court seeking to end their 18-month marriage. But in the docs, Ariane penciled in that she's divorcing Felton because of "adultery." Ariane doesn't go into detail about the adultery allegations ... but in the docs, she does request the judge throw out their pre-nup. It seems she wants the prenup tossed out on the count of the alleged cheating, but she doesn't explain why. Ariane is seeking "maintenance" -- which is essentially alimony. She also wants Raymond to finish paying for the last two years of her law school education at Fordham University. TMZ.com
Raymond Felton's felony gun charge didn't do the league any favors on the topic of guns. The league and its teams spend an inordinate amount of time dealing with the issue because so many players own firearms. Estimates are that upwards of 300 of the 450-odd players own guns. "It's an image problem for the league," Silver admitted. For what it's worth, Dallas owner Mark Cuban has a sound philosophy when it comes to weapons. "If a player says he needs to take their gun when he goes someplace," he said, "then they don't need to be going to that place." New York Daily News
Raymond Felton, in his first game at the Garden since getting arrested on gun charges, was booed during pregame introductions and then booed again after throwing a bounce pass to Tyson Chandler out of bounds. Felton finished with eight points and three assists. New York Post

Can I get paid... at all?
I know paypal is not an option, and I can be ok with cheques… but I never received a single one!!!!!!! The support always answered to me that the "financial dept." would have answered me, but never received any answer at all in months…
And bad news I have no records about the selling of last year…. so I lost all of the money? What the heck is doing blurb? I chose this service because my clients loved to buy and show their wedding books online…. but where are my earnings!??!?!?
Really disappointed, everybody should stay really aware about this :(
Hi carodani,
We're looking into this, though since we're closed for the 4th of July holiday today we should have an answer in a day or so. It seems the message we sent to have our bookkeeper look into this may not have gotten to her! We'll let you know more shortly. Sorry for the delay!
New this site obviously. My question is do most authors use this site to make their book w blurb software then publish?? I have my book ready. So I just need to know the next step that i should take on this. Can anyone pls advise me??
thanks, Ms h

Hi Ms H,
Thanks for your question and welcome to Blurb.
You're more likely to get an answer (or several) if you start a new thread rather than adding on to one that isn't related—people tend to scan the forums for topics of interest to them and this thread is very specific. You're not likely to hear much as a result.
Would you please re-post by copying and pasting your question into a new thread? I'm going to lock this thread shortly since we've resolved the original poster's concern and want to keep things relevant.
(And yes, I'd say the majority of users use our free BookSmart software to make their book. Our PDF to Book workflow is for experienced designers, often professionals, thought quite a few pros use BookSmart as well!)

As many of you may know, we love our games inside Minecraft. We've held countless rounds of Falling Sand, Dice, Spleef, Jenga, Thimble, Push the Cart, PvP, and much more! We've also had building competitions [plug for Roger's Halloween Building Competition goes here], fishing tournaments, and a handful of contests held outside the game!
Thanks to Steam and Humble Bundle, a few of us mods have extra Steam game keys (plus some donated by other players!) that we'd love to give out as prizes! These would be optional alongside in-game prizes of course for those who might already have the games or not want them. But! What events, when, and how?
Well, I'd like to ask you all for input! We've been having more regular fishing tournaments on occasional Sundays [another coming soon, stay tuned] but what else would you like to see? Any new ideas for competitions or contests?
Post your thoughts, ideas, and opinions here!
[META: If someone comes up with a great idea, I might gift them a game or item. #contestception]

Bankura (West Bengal) - West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee Friday inaugurated the Trans Damodar Coal Mining Project at Barjora in Bankura district.
Annual production of coal from the opencast portion of the coal block is targeted at one million tonnes per year and it may increase to 1.25 million tonnes in future.
"Coal extracted from Trans Damodar sector would be utilised for the benefit of the state and the construction of 330 acres of coal storage is also on the anvil," Banerjee said on the occasion.
The coal block is one of the six coal blocks allocated by the coal ministry, under the State Dispensation Route, to the West Bengal Mineral Development and Trading Corporation Ltd (WBMDTC), a state government undertaking.
The coal exploited from the block will be sold to the coal using industries based in the state through e-auction mechanism. 12.5 percent of the coal will be sold exclusively to the coal using enterprises in micro and small sectors.
The mining activities are presently spread over 282 acres.
This is the first project under public private partnership (PPP) model involving the government of West Bengal for commercial mining of coal.
