A basic Vinaigrette is 4 parts oil to 1 part vinegar.
I used Canola oil, and Apple Cider Vinegar. And added brown sugar and lemon juice to taste.
The reason I used spinach because it holds sweet flavors best. Romaine holds creamy savory dressings best, and iceberg is best for sandwiches and casual salads for all other dressings.

Favorite Music site
http://musicovery.com
I recently discovered this website based in Europe.
What they basically did is collected a LARGE selection of music from websites like Amazon and Itunes. Then compiled it based on 8 categories. First 4 are Dark vs. Positive and Energetic vs. Calm. And the other is +Dance vs. -Dance and +Tempo vs. -Tempo. So you click on the chart and it will pick a song based on it, and it will play, and then that song will be related to dozens of others that will play.
So go on, say you are in the mood of a really Upbeat Emo song, click in the top right where It's the most Dark, and the most Energetic, and you might get a band like My Chemical romance. Or if you click the Energetic, you might get something like Elvis. They also classify them in 20 different genres so you can chose to not get some, or isolate a few.
I am going to add a link to the sidebar for future links.

Bump Key, How To
This technique is well known within lock pickers, and locksmiths. It is called Bump keying. You can even buy a Bump Key from some companies. But, I chose to make my own. What you need:
1 Key, with the right shape.
1 File, Correctly sized.
File the key down until you go just a hair past the lowest peak on your key. Which should be right above the grove. Then File down little notches where the valleys used to bey on your key. It helps to mark these before filing.
Insert the key into the lock, give it light pressure, pull it out one click, so it has room to knock into the door. Then, while applying light pressure as if you were tyring to unlock it, Bump the key with the file, or something else hard. After a few trys, or the first if you are good, it should turn like your normal key.
The reason this works is because in your lock you have little pins, and these pins push up other pins attached to springs. So when you bump it, it works much like billiard balls. When you hit the bottom pin, the top one jumps. And when this happens, you are able to turn the lock, but only while the pins are knocked up.
Masterlock has started adding awkward pins that cant be bumped. But in any lock that was made pre 2007 this will work wonders.
Mine will work on my house, and any house in the general area, if I was feeling mischievous. It just needs to have the same number of pins as my key, and the same length.
