Marvelous Maple Walnut Granola
Recipe by A Messy Cook
Aw man…this stuff is so good! You gotta try it! Full of sweet, crunchy, wholesome flavor. I love eating it for breakfast with milk and fresh fruit. And it's also great with yogurt, ice cream, sprinkled on muffins, pancakes, cobblers. I've made an awful lot of granola in my time, and this is one of the best combos I have ever come up with. You can add dried fruit if you want, too, but I prefer to just make it plain and add fruit as I use it. What I love about this method is that you mix everything in the dish, rather than messing with a bunch of saucepans and bowls. Super simple and flexible, and soooo yummy!
Top Review by Lynne the Pirate Qu
Very simple, and very good... I scaled the recipe down to make 3 servings since I didn't have enough of all the ingredients and it was just me eating it anyway. I also replaced the wheat germ with flaxseeds, due to dietary preferences. It worked out fine, but I think I should have reduced the baking time for such a small batch; it came out tasting a little burned, although it was fine in appearance. I will experiment with the cook time, because this is so easy and good that is is worth trying again. Thanks for sharing!

I had some guests over for the Eurovision Song Contest (ESC). We're not hardcore fans and only one of us (not me) had watched the semi-finals. But I do like the ESC. I like how each song is based on a famous hit, or many, that you try to recognise during the song – and it's driving you mad until you realise which one it is. Like for example with Ukraine's Sweet People. It was a kind of catharsis when I realised it's Eagles' Hotel California all over again. Watch it and sing along: On a dark desert highway... Seriously, sing along now, as I did for my guests: Cold wind in my hair …
There were many violins on stage this year, a result of last year's victory for Alexander Rybak (which I predicted already on 1 March, 2009: Alexander Rybak wins Eurovision 2009). But there were also some contestants that tried to make the same song. Ok, if you haven't heard Rybak's song Fairytale, winner of ESC 2009, here it is (I love it):
Rybak has copied a bit himself in the production: At 1:35 you will hear Gloria Gaynor's I will survive. But back to ESC 2010. Albania built their whole song on Fairytale. Listen and sing along: Years ago, when I was younger …
Oh, look, even Armenia's song, after a short Ruslana/Wild dances intro, begins like Fairytale! Years ago, when I was younger vs Many many years ago, when I was a little child … I could link, but it's too bad. Instead, watch Azerbaijan, which loans a bit from both Lady Gaga and Rihanna in the chorus:
Even the moderator Peter Urban remarked that Denmark's song was a Police rip-off, and we all sang along to Every step you take. But there's also just the same sound of the guitar/electric piano as in Tina Turner's Simply the best. Watch Denmark here:
We ended up in a club which was very German in the sense that one of the drinks on offer wasn't called Orgasm nor Sex on the Beach, but simply: SPERMA. I just had to order that one:
– Sperma bitte.
– Bitte?
– Sperma.
– Jawohl.
The Sperma tasted really good. It was a mixture of sweet and salt and i wasn't really able to pinpoint the ingredients. I brought my Sperma to the dancefloor and someone bumped into me so I got Sperma all over my hands. The Sperma was really sticky, so I went with my friend to the bathroom to wash my hands.
– Diese Sperma klebt wirklich, I said.
– Er hat das Getränk gemeint, my friend said.
But back to the ESC 2010. What a terrible song to win. Maybe the worst ever! And definitely the most unexpected. I forced my German friend to sing it once we had left my apartment – he couldn't. None of us could remember the melody of it. The sound was modern though. This is Satellite:
The girl is pretty cute but her lack of star quality and feeling is in your face. Which might as well be the reason why she won – it's been a trend a long time now to celebrate the mediocrity of the common man, think Youtube stars, talent shows, etc. By the way, Mika made the same song some years ago but with the fierce idea to add a melody to it:
The fact that I love Lollipop might very well be the reason why I hate Satellite.
Is that all for tonight? No it's not! Cause first I have to reveal the winner in my own living room. There was only one contestant that we all gave the highest points to. And that was: Iceland!
Okay, we're over 30. And we're from northern Europe. Still, this is what ESC should be like. This is Shirley Clamp, Alexander Bard, Sash!, Kate Ryan, Fredrik Kempe … This is Eurovision!
Swedish media: DN, AB, Expr, Nyheter24. (SvD har ännu inte rapporterat om vinnaren men rapporterar däremot om "platsbrist för sexåringar" – är det junior-ESC som åsyftas månntro?) Såväl Andres Lokko som Jan Gradvall dissar festivalen som fenomen. Jag håller väl överlag med. Men varje anledning att fira är en bra anledning!

It seems the issue of Chief Secretary, Tabom Bam's so-called dilution of demand of nomenclature change of Nyishi's has reached a dead end and Bandh seems quite inevitable.
The appeal of the Chief Minister on October 7th to call off the stir for overall interest of the state and his assurance to lead a cabinet delegation for ensuring constitutional amendment for nomenclature change from Dafla to Nyishi has fell on deaf ears and ANSU (All Nyishi Students' Union) is adamant to carry on with it's proposed stir from October 15th, if their demand for removal of Chief Secretary by 13th October is not met.
On removal of Chief Secretary, the Chief Minister had appealed to the students' organization ANSU to solve the issue amicably as CS was ready to talk to ANSU representatives terming there had been communication gap.
"On the issue of CS's transfer, the Chief Minister appealed to the
Unionto resolve the issue amicably as the CS had already clarified the matter through media and pleaded personally that he not be misunderstood. Further, the meeting opined that the whole issue cropped up because of a communication gap."
-Arunachal Front
The reiteration of demand of removal of CS by ANSU, even after the assurance of CM that he would see to it that there is constitutional amendment for nomenclature change from Dafla to Nyishi has made me wonder; is there any other interests (political or otherwise) other than the so-called dilution of demand by Tabom Bam? Isn't it preposterous to think that Mr. Tabom Bam has indeed sabotaged the effort of Nyishi's for nomenclature change, when the final outcome of the Central Teams visit is not known yet? Who knows, may be the Nyishi's would finally get their due. If there is negative outcome of the Central Teams visit, then only, I guess Mr. Bam would have been blamed for sabotaging the efforts of the Nyishi's.
Now, it is to be seen if the common populace of the state would be forced into another Bandh; what stance the government would take to diffuse the situation-would it remove CS under duress or would it let ANSU carry on with the Bandhs?
Galo Welfare Society (GWS) has appealed to ANSU for harmony and to sink differences and drop it's proposed agitation against the state Chief Secretary for the larger interest of the communities stating that the CS was probably not properly briefed on the proceedings during the 20th September meeting at Banquet Hall here with the ministry of Tribal Affairs Secretary.
And in order the diffuse the tension, the state government has constituted a fact finding team comprising of RWD Minister Chowna Mein, Industries Minister Tanga Byaling, Education Minister Tatar Kipa, Parliamentary Secretary Thajam Aboh and MLA Kameng Dolo to look into the matter leading to controversy and the team would submit its report within 3 months.

Zuma repeats, he will not seek a third term
President Jacob Zuma is getting tired of having to tell people that he will not seek a third term at the helm of the African National Congress, even if members sought to give him that mandate.
Zuma said he had always intended to serve for just two terms, adding that his tenure was now about to be completed.
Zuma's term as President of the ANC will end later this year.
"I have explained it before that I won't seek to be elected for a third term" Zuma told the SABC.
South Africa's Head of State said there were many within the governing party who had the capacity to take over the baton and lead the organisation into a new era.
"I'm finishing my second term now. There are many leaders in the ANC who can be elected. I'm the one who was against the suggesting, some time ago, when one of the President said we cannot allow him a third term," added Zuma.
The complication for Zuma, if he were to get a third term at the helm of the ANC, would be the small matter of two centres of power. He wants to avoid that at all costs.
"So I can't speak on different tunes. Even if some nominate me I will decline, we can't have two centres of power," added Zuma.

In response to your query for drivers for that device, Ricoh does not make drivers for their CD-RW's.
However if your talking about firmware, they do make those and I've uploaded an NT version that you required.
Seeing that win2000 is an enchanced version of NT, NT substitutes can be used.
Furthermore, in regards to drivers windows should've automatically loaded them.
In the future you can download all your Ricoh drivers at

Kuyt humbled by support
Dirk Kuyt has revealed he has received many messages of support from Liverpool fans after ending his six-year association with the club.
Last Updated: 05/06/12 2:51pm
Dirk Kuyt has revealed he has received many messages of support from Liverpool fans after ending his six-year association with the club to join Fenerbahce.
The 31-year-old, who fell down the pecking order at Anfield last season, admits his increasing lack of game time was behind his decision to move on.
"My last season at Liverpool wasn't the best one," said Kuyt.
"I thought that I should've played more so, after six years, I just had a feeling I needed to change something in my career, a new experience, a new country, new people around me, and that's why I made the decision to leave.
"I had a great time and I had great team-mates. The club was great, the people were great and the people from Liverpool - the text messages, the phone calls, the e-mails, all the tweets I had on my Twitter account - it's unbelievable how much respect they showed me and it's also a bit emotional.
"They wished me good luck and they said that they will miss me."
Holland striker Kuyt, currently on international duty ahead of the European Championship, admits leaving Liverpool was one of the toughest decisions he had ever made.
He added: "On one hand, it's always very sad when you have to leave a football club after six years.
"But, on the other hand, you also look to the future and I think Fenerbahce is a great club, with also great supporters and I really look forward to the new experience."
Kuyt also revealed he snubbed Hamburg for Turkish giants Fenerbahce because of the lure of playing UEFA Champions League football.
The forward, who has been denied that privilege since Liverpool last qualified in 2009, said: "I spoke with Hamburg, my agent spoke with Hamburg, and I had a feeling about the club.
"But, at the end of the day, the best feeling for me was Fenerbahce.
"For me, it was also really important to play in Europe and to play Champions League."
