In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Take that one cup of raisins in the original recipe and cut it in half. Now figure out what you want to replace it with! The following options will all go nicely with the raisins, but you can just as easily substitute these ingredients for all of the raisins if you wanted to: Chocolate chips or chunks (white and dark chocolate go particularly well) Chopped walnuts, pecans, or almonds Dried cranberries This thick, rich, and dark syrup matches beautifully with the spiced flavors of a good oatmeal raisin cookie. This fantastic cookie takes all of the joys of a good oatmeal raisin cookie and blasts it with a fresh, spiced, and always delicious burst of sweet Indian spices. Add the following spices and, if you're really feeling culinary, let the raisins steep in a cup of chai tea for 15 minutes as well: 1 teaspoon each of cardamom, cinnamon, ground cloves 1/2 teaspoon each of ground ginger, nutmeg 1/4 teaspoon of ground black pepper. Both sweet and savory, the addition of vanilla salt, often sold as "vanilla fleur de sel," will bring out a richness and slight saltiness that will elevate the cookies from simple desert to decadent snack. The texture will stay roughly the same, but you'll get the sweet, slightly tropical touch of coconut flavor that will take any guests by welcome surprise. You can add as much or as little as you want, though at least 1-1/2 cups of oats is best to help the cookies keep their shape. You won't need the hand mixer, and can instead mix by hand. Add the following ingredients together and mix until it forma a paste, then mix in everything else like normal: 1/2 cup applesauce 4 tablespoons almond butter 4 tablespoons ground flax seed
Summary: Add a little more than just raisins to the batter. Add 1-2 tablespoons of molasses, removing the corresponding amount of brown sugar, for a more tangy, maple taste. Spice up your cookies with an invigorating chai spice blend. Add 1 tablespoons of a vanilla salt, or triple the salt in the recipe, and add dark chocolate for an incredibly subtle treat. Consider adding in a cup of shredded coconut in place of a cup of the oats. Make vegan oatmeal raisin by substituting out the butter for flax, almond butter, and applesauce.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: A HomeGroup is a collection of Windows computers on a network, and is designed to make sharing files and printers between them easier than a traditional network. Only Windows 7 and 8 computers can join a HomeGroup. Open the Charms menu. You can access this by swiping in from the right side of the screen with your finger or by moving your mouse to the lower-right corner of the screen. Tap or click "Settings". This option has a Gear icon. Tap or click "Change PC settings". This is is located at the bottom of the menu. Tap or click "Network" Tap or click "HomeGroup" Enter in the HomeGroup password and then tap or click "Join". The creator of the HomeGroup can find the password on his or her HomeGroup menu. If there is no HomeGroup detected, then you may not be properly connected to the network. Once you are connected to the HomeGroup, you can print to the shared printer without having to actually install the printer. The PC that is sharing the printer must be turned on to print.
Summary: Open the HomeGroup menu. Join the existing HomeGroup. Print to the shared printer.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: It can be small -- trying to get people to clean up after their animals, for example -- or large -- trying to eliminate the sales tax on groceries in your state. Keep in mind that the smaller the issue, the better chance you have at making a difference. Local government necessarily includes fewer people, and because you are one of those people, your voice can make a difference in a way that it can't among the millions on a state or national level. Is it a national law? Then you might want to enlist the help of a Senator or Congressman. Is it a state law? Then your state house representative or a state senator is the person to see. Finally, if the law is a county or town ordinance seek out the local councillor, supervisor, mayor, or county executive. How old is it? Which person or group was responsible for writing it or changing it last time? It is important to know the history of the law so you have a better idea about how to change it. Knowing how it was made or changed before tells you who needs to be involved this time. If it was a vote by the city council before, chances are it will be changed by a vote by the city council again. Ask them about the feasibility of your idea. Can they change or repeal it in the same way? If not, what will be different this time? If it was a ballot measure (this is only true for some states), ask how to get your changes on the ballot again. You'll need to know when to file your measure and how many signatures (often 1,000+) it will take to get it back to the voters.
Summary:
Discover an issue that you are passionate about. Know what level of government is responsible for the law. Read the laws governing your issue. Talk to the people or group that made or changed the law last time.
