Problem: Article: 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.

Problem: Article: Use one of the USB ports directly on the computer. Connecting to a USB hub may lead to slower transfer speeds or connection problems.  The AutoPlay window will typically open, but it may not if you've disabled it in the past. You can select "Open folder to view files" or read on to open it without using the AutoPlay window. Windows may install a few drivers if you've never connected that particular USB drive before. A USB hub is an external device that allows you to plug multiple USB devices into a single USB port. It's the icon with the windows logo in the taskbar.  By default, it's usually in the lower-left corner. It's to the right in the Start menu.  This displays all the drives attached to your computer.    You can also view your computer drives by pressing ⊞ Win+E. You may have a shortcut on your desktop as well. In Windows XP, this is labeled "My Computer." Look in the "Devices with Removable Storage" section of the window. The USB drive may be labeled with the manufacturer or model name, or it may be labeled "Removable Disk." This will make it easier to send files to it later. The drive letter will be displayed in parentheses after the label, e.g "(E:)" or "(F:)". The bar underneath the drive will show how much space is available. Knowing the amount of free space can give you a general idea of how much music will fit on it. See the chart at the bottom of the article for some examples of drive sizes and the amount of music you can store. Use File Explorer to find the music files that you want to transfer. Your music files may be located in several different locations depending on your media player settings.  Windows uses the "Music" folder as the default location for many programs. Music that you've downloaded may be in your Downloads folder. If you use Windows Media Player, you can right-click on an item in your library and select "Open file location" to view the folder that contains the files. If you use iTunes, right-click on an item in your iTunes library and select "Show in Windows Explorer." You can copy anything in the window by selecting it. You can drag a selection box, press Ctrl+A to select all of the items, or hold Ctrl and click each item you want to select. Right-click on your selected files and select "Properties." This will let you see the total size of your selected files, which you can compare with the available space on your USB drive. This displays a menu to the right of the selected files. It's in the menu that appears when you right-click a selected item in File Explorer. Alternatively, you can also click Copy in the menu that appears when you right-click a file. You'll be able to easily identify the USB drive by the label and drive letter. Alternatively, you can drag and drop your music files into the Flash Drive in Windows Explorer.  You can also right-click and click Paste to paste music files that you have copied. The time this takes will depend on the number of files you are copying, the speed of your USB drive, and the speed of your computer. Make sure not to remove the drive while files are copying. This button has an icon of a USB plug with a checkmark.  This is in the row of icons in the lower-right corner of the desktop, next to the clock. If you don't see the icon, click the arrow to display all of the icons. This will unmount your USB drive, allowing you to safely pull the drive out without damaging the files.
Summary: Insert the USB drive you want to use. Click the Start menu . Click Computer. Find your USB drive. Make note of the USB drive's label and letter. Check how much space is available on the drive. Find the music you want to transfer. Select the files and folders that you want to copy. Check the size of your selection. Right-click the selection. Select Send to. Select your USB drive. Wait while the music files to copy. Click the "Safely Remove Hardware" button in the System Tray. Select your USB drive from the "Safely Remove Hardware" menu.

Problem: Article: Write the note on a piece of paper small enough to fit inside the cap of a pen. Roll the paper and place it inside of the pen. Pass it to the receiver. After that, just wait for them to pass the pen back! They can replace your note with another note and pass it back. Just remember to watch the teacher! Take tiny post-it notes and stick them inside the textbook. Write different notes to direct the receiver like, turn to page 3, turn to page 66, until they find the note. It will look like you or the receiver is studying instead of reading the note.
Summary:
Ahead of time, get a friend to ask you to borrow a pen. Put your note in a certain page in a textbook.
