Tuesdays with Dorie—Granola Grabbers
To make them a little more fun, I baked them in the bottom part of an ice cream cone and topped them with a dollop of ice cream and sprinkles.
We were enjoying these outside on the front porch and the local squirrel must have smelled the peanuts and came within an arm's reach hoping for his own cookie, I imagine!
You can find the recipe for Granola Grabbers in the book Baking: From My Home to Yours by Dorie Greenspan or here. To see how the rest of the TWD group fared with this week's recipe, click here and then click on each blogger! Thanks to Michelle of Bad Girl Baking who chose the recipe for this week.
Tips for baking these cookies in ice cream cones: Push the dough right to the bottom of the cone so that there's a bit of cookie in each bite. Bake them an extra 5-8 minutes in the cones so that the middle gets done.
Tasting Notes
These cookies were crunchy, chewy, and full of delicious surprises. I loved the combination of salty peanuts, raisins, coconut, almonds and granola. It makes them seem almost good enough to eat for breakfast! My kids were wishing I'd added chocolate chips, so I may try that next time, but I liked them as is.

I would never have thought of baking them in an ice cream cone! What an idea! And if you put a tiny scoop of ice cream on top, so it kind of melted down into the cookie.... oh my.

This week, we've seen two stories with the theme of how tough parents and tough kids struggle to express their love for one another without, well, saying it aloud.
Many of us have lived these stories. We're the children of immigrant parents, of single moms and dads whose tired sighs at the end of the day we know all too well, of grandparents who stepped in and raised us when their children couldn't, and of parents who just found it hard to share their emotions.
Following the lead of a Seattle-area high school, football coach Masaki Matsumoto asked his players' parents to pen letters to their children.
From The Los Angeles Times:
"Cesar Orozco, a senior offensive lineman, broke down when he read what his mother had written in Spanish: 'You know deep inside I love you. And you're the most important thing in my life. You know I would die for you.'
" 'I don't really get told that at home,' Cesar said. 'For me to be reading that, it really touches me.'
"John Mercado, a sophomore lineman, sobbed so hard reading his mother's letter that he had to pause before finishing. He had come close to quitting the team when his parents lost their jobs and needed financial help.
"His mother wrote in Spanish: 'I'm very proud. You're the nicest kid I've ever raised and during hard times you don't ever ask for anything.' "
Sometimes parents — particularly immigrant parents or single parents — can be reticent when it comes to doling out compliments to their children. At least, that's what Matsumoto believes. The teacher and football coach moved from Japan to the United States at age 7 with his mother and says he knows how it feels to be raised by a single parent.
And then there's the story of Matt de la Peña. The author of the young adult novel The Living wrote an essay for Code Switch about how he first tuned in to the joys of reading and writing. He finished high school without having read a novel from cover to cover; and before that, he was nearly held back in grade school because he couldn't read well. And then, sometime in college, a switch flipped: De la Peña became hooked on books. Later in his writing career, he saw that same kind of literary-transformative potential in a troubled student at a school he visited. He also saw literature change his own father, a man he thought preferred the show Cops to the work of Garcia Marquez.
"Back in my graduate school days, I used to drop by my folks' place once a week for dinner. I'd eat at the kitchen table talking to my mom and little sister while my dad ate in the living room watching his favorite TV show, Cops. We didn't usually interact a whole lot. But one night, my old man stopped me on my way out the door. He pointed at the book tucked under my arm and asked what I was reading.
" 'One Hundred Years of Solitude,' I said, holding it out for him to see.
"He nodded.
"I assumed that was the end of it so I waved to everyone and made my way through the front door. My dad followed me outside, though. 'Hey, Matt,' he said. 'You think I could borrow that book when you're done?'
"I'd never seen my dad read much of anything, and Garcia Marquez seemed like a tough jumping-off point, but I handed over the book anyway, telling him: 'It's all yours. I finished it on the ride up here.'
"It took him over a month to read the book. When he handed it back to me I tried to get his feedback on the multiple storylines and the magical realism, but all he'd say was that he liked it. He followed me outside the house that night, too. 'I was thinking,' he said, looking over his shoulder to make sure we were alone. 'Maybe you could let me read whatever books you finish.' "
His father went on read more books and, lo and behold, it helped shape his life. (You'll have to read the full essay to see how that happened.)
Maybe it's the onset of holiday season that's making me wax nostalgic and think about my own childhood. But there's real tension and validation that happens when we reflect on changes, not in ourselves, but in our parents.
So, what about you? Tell us about a moment when your parents shared how they felt about you. Use the comments section below or find us on Twitter @nprcodeswitch.

The K-Lite Codec Pack is a collection of DirectShow filters, VFW/ACM codecs, and tools. Codecs and DirectShow filters are needed for encoding and decoding audio and video formats. The K-Lite Codec Pack is designed as a user-friendly solution for playing all your audio and movie files.
With the K-Lite Codec Pack you should be able to play all the popular audio and video formats and even several less common formats.
The K-Lite Codec Pack has a couple of major advantages compared to other codec packs:
- It is updated frequently. So it is always up-to-date with the newest and/or best components.
- All components have been carefully selected for specific purposes. It is not just a random bunch of stuff thrown together.
- It is very user-friendly and easy to use.
- The installation is fully customizable, meaning that you are able to install just those components that you really want.
- The customization abilities even go beyond the component level. Some components are able to handle multiple formats. You can specify exactly which components should handle which formats. The pack can thus be fully tweaked to your own specific needs and preferences.
- Uninstallation removes everything that was installed by the pack. Including all registry keys.
- It is extremely easy to make a fully customized unattended installation with the integrated wizard.
- It does not contain any bad, buggy or unstable codecs.

The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is one of the core protocols of the Internet Protocol Suite. TCP is so central that the entire suite is often referred to as "TCP/IP." Whereas IP handles lower-level transmissions from computer to computer as a message makes its way across the Internet, TCP operates at a higher level, concerned only with the two end systems, for example a Web browser and a Web server. In particular, TCP provides reliable, ordered delivery of a stream of bytes from one program on one computer to another program on another computer. Besides the Web, other common applications of TCP include e-mail and file transfer. Among its management tasks, TCP controls message size, the rate at which messages are exchanged, and network traffic congestion.
The User Datagram Protocol (UDP) is one of the core members of the Internet Protocol Suite, the set of network protocols used for the Internet. With UDP, computer applications can send messages, sometimes known as datagrams, to other hosts on an Internet Protocol (IP) network without requiring prior communications to set up special transmission channels or data paths. UDP is sometimes called the Universal Datagram Protocol. The protocol was designed by David P. Reed in 1980 and formally defined in RFC 768.

http://openid.aliz.es/username where username is a token of your choosing.
It will validate everything, it doesn't care. It is anti-identity. Perhaps IPs are logged, I don't know. Just because someone uses this it doesn't mean it is my fault. It is your fault for using openID. If you're angry that someone is using it, then you don't understand the design of OpenID.
OpenID was meant to allow you some control over an identity. Well I don't want an identity, especially now. So this is for all those out there who don't want openID but don't want to register as anything else.
Another great site is http://spam.la . Much like this site but for email!

Coverage is a mathematical interpretation of the serial numbers that have been submitted so far. The term 'coverage' relates to the amount of the production run that has been 'covered' in the given submissions. There are two coverage methods shown, each has a different approach of calculating an guess on the number of games produced by analysing the currently submitted serial numbers. Linear: Linear coverage simply looks at the highest serial number and subtracts from it the smallest serial number to estimate the number of games produced. For some games, this works fine because the serial numbers were sequential and without gaps (Early Bally, Early Stern, etc). However, this approach starts to fail quickly for games that serial numbers are part of a bigger numbering scheme (Williams pre 1984, Current Stern) or that intentially had gaps/skips in the numbering sequence(Gottlieb post 1960). If you see a linear coverage number that is higher than the known production run, it is probably not the best way to look at the serial range and you should look at the clustered approach below. Clustered: Clustered coverage assumes that there are gaps/skips in the serial sequence for a game. It groups the serial numbers together based upon how close they are to the next serial number in the sequence. If they fall within a certain threshold then the SerialBot assumes that there are valid serial numbers between the two. If they are far enough apart, then the SerialBot assumes this is a gap. Once all the gaps and groups are determined, it sums up all the linear ranges in each group. This way, if a sample run of games started at 15,000-15,100 and the production games started at 17,000 onwards, it would assume that the serial numbers between 15,100-17,000 were a gap an are not counted. Using this method, as more serial numbers are submitted the gap analysis will get more accurate.
There are no serials registered for this game. You could be the first!
Game Traits are properties for an individual game that you would like to see tracked along with the other information gathered for a serial number submission. Some examples of existing traits are... Joust: Black or Blue bottom Arch, Black Knight: Faceted Inserts or Normal Inserts, Twilight Zone: 3rd Magnet Installed or not.
Older Williams games are very much like older Gottlieb games. The serial numbers are stamped/etched into the wood on the front of the cabinet. This holds true for anything prior to say, oh, 1984/1985, or around System 9. Occasionally you have to look hard for it, like the Joust game at PAPA 5. I did find it eventually, serial number for that game was: 624985. Williams games from the late 60's up to the mid 80's were 6 digit numbers.
This game has the following serial number formats defined in the database. As serial numbers are sumbitted, trends are recognized and defined or information about a serial number format is collected through historical information.
Every game has many many serial number submissions, the goal of the IPSND is not to guarantee that *all* information is 100% correct but that over time, the system should automatically devalue inaccurate submissions while increasing the value of correct submissions.
You may click on the SerialBot score of any submission to see how it was calculated.
The following map shows the locations of all serial numbers that were submitted with a geolocation...

On this 34th anniversary of the takeover of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, thousands of Iranians gathered outside that building to once again chant "Death to America."
But New York Times Bureau Chief Thomas Erdbrink told NPR's Steve Inskeep on Monday that though the shouts were the same as they've been since 1979 and the demonstration was larger than in recent years, the people he interviewed there were not virulently anti-American.
"All the people I spoke with," Erbrink said, "didn't really mind Iran talking to the United States ... [and they] admitted they want to see some sort of solution" to three-plus decades of fractured relations.
Anti-American hardliners, Edbrink added, "who feel their interests will be threatened" if multinational talks lead to a resolution of the impasse over Iran's nuclear ambitions, packed Monday's demonstration with "government workers and schoolkids."
He noted that hardliners are upset about the willingness of new President Hassan Rouhani and his aides to sit down with the U.S. and its partners. Iran wants a lifting of economic sanctions. The nations on the other side of the table want to make sure Iran does not join the list of nations with nuclear weapons.
Over the weekend, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei issued a message that praised and defended the work of Iran's nuclear negotiators, NPR's Peter Kenyon reports from Istanbul. That would seem to be an endorsement of Rouhani's efforts.
But the ayatollah also lent some support to those who organized the "death to America" protest. As Peter reports, the ayatollah said those who stormed the embassy in 1979 — taking hostages who would be held for 444 days — were the first to uncover the "den of espionage" at the diplomatic mission.

Tonight Egyptian protesters managed not to only to encircle the fearful building by thousands but they have also entered it for the first time not as detainees blindfolded but actually as victorious revolutionaries who had enough from that castle of terrorists.
MP general and army general speaking With protesters "Yasser Seif" |
Anyhow back to the capital of hell , the army evacuated the officers and officially was in control of it. After some negotiations with the generals , the people managed to get in and to see what they have never seen in their lives before from files , torture devices and underground prisons. After finding what they have found and the fact that Egypt will live in the new State security gate for weeks or even months as more and more scandals will come to light , I do not know why or how the generals let the people in. May be they let them in because they know that they were angry but did the generals know or even imagine what the people have there !!!?
The evacuation plan showing how big it is The sectors in brief "By Nada Ghonim" |
The blue prints of the capital of hell by Yasser Seif |
A bedroom at the hostel !! By Nada Ghonim |
Loads of shredded papers by Tarek Al Araby |
I wonder what files the State security officers have actually destroyed. These are the files our tweep friends told us about :
- Bombing the two Saints Church "According to those who read , it actually incriminates the MOI in bombing the church.
- Hosni Mubarak and Suzanne Mubarak !! "Yes they were following their moves !! It makes you wonder about their loyalty. Our friends spoke about a report covering the Addis Baba assassination attempt in 1996.
- Sheikh Karadawy
- Dr. Mohamed ElBaradei
- Al Jazeera TV host Ahmed Mansour
- Late Khaled Said !!
Late Khaled Said file by Yasser Seif |
- Members of Muslim brotherhood like Mohamed Habib
- Members of 6th April like Ahmed Maher 'it included details about their family members even babies !"
- Members of socialist movements
- Religious sects
Religious activities group file by Pakinem Amar |
- Religious conservative "allegedly full floor dedicated to them"
- Mortada Mansour
- The Egyptian New night talk shows "Including transcripts for the episodes and the details of the callers"
- A whole file with the Yahoo emails that have been monitored.
- Files about CIA , FBI, Iraq elections and Al Qaeda "The golden files of rendition have not been found it, I fear that they were shredded"
FBI file by Yasser Seif |
- Files about politicians and their relations
- Files about political deals and spies in various groups
- Files about Safwat Al Sherif and his sons with their financial corruption scandals.
- Files about the journalists who are working for the state security
Folders about economy, labor, students, media They were emptied. "Tarek Al Araby" |
- They were let because actually they are less harming than other files , the other explosive files including rendition and torture files were either moved or shredded. Torture files are more harming than espionage and data collecting files plus when we speak about rendition we are speaking about CIA covert world !! Let the people be busy with these files
- They were let because the officers had no time , already according to the photos and films the protesters found at the HQ , the SS was recording yesterday's festivities at Tahrir square carefully. Also they had a lot to dispose and thus they disposed what they can dispose quickly.Already the protesters caught two big CSF vehicles transferring tons of documents to unknown locations. This theory is enforced by the collapse of Ahmed Shafik's cabinet.
The mount of shredded papers !! by Tarek Al Araby |
PCs without hard drives !! at least they covered the monitors !! by Shady Anwar |
Our friends found torture devices , sex films made for famous personalities "this is so Safwat Al Sherif !!" and also Sony PlayStation !! They also found weapons and some CSF officer who was so scared and told them that he was innocent. The officer was handed to the army.
The underground prison was hard to find at first but the people found them. Some were speaking about screams from the underground prison. The cells were found , some people say they were locked electronically but they were opened. The detainees were released after being years in detention , one of them has been released there for 14 years !!!!!!!!!!! The detainees were allegedly blindfold and stayed in small cell without light !!!!!!!!!! Even the military police soldiers and officers were touched.
Underground cells by Yasser Seif |
Inside the cell by Mohamed Abdel Aziz |
It is not a matter of trust between us and the army but this is what we should do. The army knows that it should protect and hand these documents to the DA so it is better to let the people to do it to end to any suspicion from any kind. The army is careful not to let a single paper from the HQ searching everybody in the exist. It also does not let any foreign reporter inside , the thing which even protesters inside respected so much.
Among the people who came tonight to the State security HQ , families of the missing detainees , some of them have been missing for more than 5 years.
Here is a video showing the protesters when they managed to get in. They knew that there were underground cells and they found room full of papers. People were repeating over and over that they did not a single paper to be touched and they wanted someone to regard every office's door in the building.
Here is an ex-detainee how he was being tortured using a device that I showed its picture in the previous post.
This is just the start of the State security gate in Egypt.
Ok Scans and videos are pouring already
Here is a video for Habib Al-Adly's suit at the State Security complex !!
An office , a bed room with a bed for two , pink bathrobe , marble bathroom and finest salons for meetings from our own budget , from our own taxes !!
I read a fearful thing online that the citizens found a room full of toys and photos for kids being tortured :(
The documents , files and reports are exposing everybody in the country.
The journalists of course took some scans "and some files" about VIPs including Ex-President Mubarak himself and his activities along with his wife Suzanne Thabet. "I love writing her name in his way , the official legal way"
Al Masry Al Youm published this report about the Mubaraks' last day in Cairo. It is very interesting to see state security spying on the president and the first lady !! The report allegedly does not include anything interesting except that Mubarak and his wife had not official or recorded activity from February 1 to 5 !!
Strangely he met with Christiane Amanpour on February 2nd !!
Al Masry Al Youm's Ahmed Abdel Fatah shared couple of photos from SS HQ at his personal Flickr account.
Wikileaks.org is supporting the revolution and the storming of SS.If you follow its twitter account ,you will find it is tweeting about SS leaks and even tweeted in Arabic for the first time. The famous organization is not only supporting us but it is also offering help for the shredding papers problem.
We are so grateful and we welcome help on condition , the Wikileaks team teaches a group of Egyptians how to reconstruct shredded papers and the process would take place in Egypt.
The Egyptian Cabinet has asked the people to hand all the files to general prosecutor "DA" the first thing in the morning in order to protect the national security.
Sohair Abaza filmed the moments when people began to search for the underground cells, already Sohair and her friends were in that big hall when they heard sounds coming from below. When more people came and started to remove the floor they found these ventilation slots !! A former detainee told them the entrance is from some kind secret door. It is emotional

The secret flavor and aroma of Far East cooking. Made from whole roasted tan sesame seed, unrefined and expeller pressed. Ideal for seasoning steamed vegetables, and preparing stir-fries, sauces, marinades, dressings, and vinaigrettes. Sesamol and sesamin, antioxidants in sesame, are natural preservatives making it a very shelf-stable unrefined oil. Amber glass protected. Functional dispenser cap and refillable.
fragrance and rich taste make it a highly prized seasoning. Use Eden Toasted Sesame Oil as you would other cooking oils. Toasted sesame oil enhances the flavor of rice, noodles, tofu, fish, and vegetables. Try in your next stir fry.
To make Eden Toasted Sesame Oil whole sesame seeds are cleaned, slowly roasted in a rotary kiln to unlock their flavor and aroma, then placed in a screw or expeller press to extract the oil. This is gently filtered, then bottled in amber glass. Nitrogen flushed before capping to protect and preserve its nutrients, flavor, and integrity.
Eden Toasted Sesame Oil contains 5g monounsaturated and 6g polyunsaturated, and is cholesterol free. Sesamol and sesamin, naturally occurring healthy antioxidants found in sesame seeds and sesame oil, make unrefined sesame oil especially nourishing, and they act as a natural preservative as well. One of the most shelf stable unrefined vegetable oils.
Sesame Sesamum indicum is a treasured herb native to Indonesia and Africa. It has been widely grown in tropical and subtropical Asia and in the Mediterranean region for thousands of years. The first known cultivation of sesame is occurred around 3,000 B.C. in the Middle East, and 1,600 B.C. in Egypt. The Egyptians are credited with being the inventors of sesame oil. Sesame seeds were introduced to Japan around 645 to 793 A.D. by Buddhist priests from Korea and China. Sesame oil production in Japan was recorded during the Heian Period (794 to 1191 A.D.).
Sesame plants grow about two to five feet and produce pretty purple cone shaped flowers. There are several varieties of the sesame plant that produce creamy white, brown, black, and red seeds. When ready for harvest the seeds are encased in a protective hard shell that rattles with its precious contents. The entire plant is cut off at the base of the stem and stacked in an upright position against racks and allowed to dry. While drying the capsules that hold the seed split open. The plant is turned upside down and the seeds drop onto a cloth.
It is best to avoid commercial vegetable oil that is heated above its boiling point, treated with the solvent hexane, washed with sodium hydroxide, and chemically bleached and deodorized at 400 degrees F. For delicious and nutritious unrefined oils, choose Eden.
Eden Toasted Sesame Oil is the secret flavor and aroma of Oriental cooking. Ideal for seasoning steamed vegetables, as a marinade, in a stir fry, dressing or vinaigrette. A great salad oil too. Try with Roasted Asparagus Spears, in this site's recipe section.

According to a new survey by the Asia Foundation, 52 percent of the 6,300 Afghans it surveyed in June feel the country is heading in the right direction. It's the first time in eight years of conducting this survey that the foundation found a majority of Afghans held a positive view.
At a press event in Kabul, representatives of the nonprofit organization said they surveyed Afghans across the country. Topics ranged from security to corruption to women's rights, and included nearly 90 different questions. Some were open ended, others were multiple choice.
Of the 52 percent saying the country is heading the right direction, 41 percent of them said it was because of good security. Conversely, of the 31 percent saying the country is heading in the wrong direction, 39 percent said it was because of bad security. Security was the biggest determinant for both positive and negative views.
Other numbers that jumped out were the approval ratings for the Afghan Army, National Police, and the central government. Still, strong majorities said Afghan forces need continued foreign support.
Eighty six percent said the Afghan National Police are honest and fair and help improve security. When talking to Afghans, it's rare to hear such positive comments about the police. And in private, NATO personnel often express serious reservations about the ANP.
The Afghan National Army received even higher marks, though it is fairly typical to hear more positive than negative comments about the Afghan army.
When asked to name the biggest problem at the national level, 28 percent of those surveyed said insecurity, 27 percent said unemployment, and 25 percent said corruption. And, 79 percent of respondents said corruption was a major in Afghanistan as a whole (56 percent said corruption was a major problem in their daily lives).
So, given those numbers (and the constant complaints one hears in Afghanistan about the failures of the government to deliver services), how is it that 75 percent of those surveyed gave the central government a favorable rating?
Perhaps part of the answer lies in this statistic: 64 percent of respondents said it is inappropriate to criticize the government in public.
When pushed on this point, Fazel Rabi Haqbeen with the Asia Foundation, said he didn't think there was excessive bias in the numbers.
"However, we are looking into the social desirability aspect of the survey," he said.
He admitted that culturally, Afghans are likely to express either favorable opinions or opinions they think the questioner wants to hear.
Journalists encounter this constantly when talking to Afghans — people who might sit with family and criticize the government, the security forces, or NATO forces for that matter, might turn around and tell a journalist they are happy to have foreign forces in the country and they think they're doing a great job.
Haqbeen said that since this survey has been conducted for eight years, people are aware of it, and don't feel the need to tailor their answers for the interviewers. Also, eight years establishes a track record — and, again, this is the first such survey to show more than half saying Afghanistan is headed in the right direction.
But the Afghan staff in NPR's Kabul office expressed skepticism about much of the data, especially the positive responses about the Afghan government and the police in particular. They said it simply doesn't fit with what they see and hear.
They also questioned the finding that 55 percent of men surveyed said it was acceptable for women to work outside the home. They felt that was too high.
Some of the numbers that did seem more realistic were that 48 percent fear for their safety or the safety of their family, 63 percent expressed no sympathy at all for armed groups, and 70 percent said employment at the local level is very bad or quite bad.
A more interesting details from the demographic breakdown of the interview subjects: 58 percent never attended school, 34 percent were farmers, and 87 percent were from households with a monthly income below $300. Lastly, 38 percent said if given the opportunity they would leave Afghanistan, and 60 percent said they would not.
The presenters of the data said that they will be conducting analysis in the coming months to interpret the results and present findings and conclusions to the government and policy makers.
